On June 26, 2026, France took part in a coordinated series of air traffic control strikes alongside Spain, Italy, Belgium, Portugal, Germany, and Greece. This joint action has significantly affected airspace management and flight coordination across Europe.

These strikes have resulted in widespread disruptions to overflight operations and airport activities throughout multiple countries, causing extensive delays and cancellations for travelers today. The ongoing walkouts have contributed to interruptions in the continent’s aviation and tourism networks.
