French Pension Protests Threaten Morocco-France Flights Amid National Strike

In France, the protest against the pension reform is not waning. Several trade union organizations have filed a notice of national interprofessional strike in the entire public service and the private sector for Monday, March 20. As a result, "from Sunday, March 19, 2023 in the evening until Tuesday, March 21, 2023 at 6 am, air traffic will be disrupted from and to Paris-Orly and Marseille-Provence airports," warns the National Interprofessional Social Movement.

For its part, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGAC) has issued a statement calling on airlines to reduce their flight schedule by 30% at Paris-Orly airport and 20% at Marseille-Provence airport. "Despite these preventive measures, disruptions and delays are nevertheless to be expected," it added.
