Vueling Cabin Crew Strike to Disrupt France-Morocco Flights Through May

18 April 2023 – bySylvanus@Bladi · 1 min read

Flights between Morocco and France offered by the low-cost airline Vueling will experience disruptions towards the end of this week, and until May, due to a strike movement that a union representing the cabin crew based in the hexagon of the company is about to launch.

On Monday, the SNPNC-FO, the only representative of the approximately 190 cabin crew of Vueling, filed a strike notice running over the next three weekends, i.e. April 21, 22 and 23, April 28, 29, 30 and May 1, and May 6, 7 and 8, 2023 due to the lack of recognition in the remuneration of the company’s flight attendants, the significant change in schedules on numerous occasions during the month, "disconnection during rest days not respected", and "numerous errors in payroll", explains the union in a press release. The movement will be "renewable in May", warns the same source.

As a result, Vueling flights departing from its base at Paris-Orly should be disrupted. However, the Spanish specialist in cheap flights, a subsidiary of the IAG Group (alongside Iberia, Level, British Airways and Aer Lingus), will operate those from CDG from other airports. Present at seven airports with more than 50 lines planned this summer, the company operates up to 40 daily rotations in France.
