On June 26, 2026, France became part of a network of European countries participating in coordinated air traffic control strikes. Along with Spain, Italy, Belgium, Portugal, Germany, and Greece, the action has led to significant operational disruption across European airspace.

The strikes have caused a severe breakdown in aviation services affecting numerous airports throughout Europe. Disruptions include restrictions on overflights and interruptions within the tourism-related flight networks, resulting in widespread delays and cancellations for travelers on affected routes.
