French Pension Protests Disrupt Air Travel, Royal Air Maroc Flights at Risk

The National Airports Office (ONDA) has once again invited travelers to or from France to check the status of their flights with their airlines before going to the airport, due to the continuation of the protests against the pension reform and the postponement of the legal retirement age to 64.

"Due to the social movement planned from February 15 to 17, 2023, we invite travelers to and from France to check the status of their flights with their airlines before going to the airport," ONDA said on its official Twitter page.

In France, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGAC) announced that air traffic will be disrupted, from Wednesday, February 15 in the evening until Friday, February 17, 2023 at 6 a.m. for departures and arrivals at the airports of Paris-Orly, Toulouse, Marseille, Lyon, Montpellier and Nantes due to a national interprofessional strike movement. It also specified that cancellations and delays are to be expected.

A few days ago, the airline Royal Air Maroc (RAM) had canceled some flights scheduled for January 31 to and from Paris for the same reason. The company had directed travelers to the alternatives offered to them to make their trip.
