French controllers are undertaking their 38th day of action and Ryanair has condemned European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen for allowing EU skies to be closed during strikes.
Ryanair said passengers “could easily be protected without impeding on French ATC unions’ right to strike”. The airline called for the protection of French overflights using minimum services laws as used in Greece, Italy and Spain.
It also suggested allowing other nations’ ATC to manage flights over France during strikes.
