A mass strike in France, which began on Thursday, March 22, will disrupt rail and air travel, according to LeParisien.
Experts predict the onset of a "Black Thursday" in the transport and public services sector in Paris and elsewhere on March 22 French cities. On this day, a major strike will take place among civil servants, as well as railway and air transport workers. The French intend to express their dissatisfaction with labor law reforms.
Train schedules will be severely disrupted. Many rail companies are joining the protests, including TGV, Intercites, and TER. In the Île-de-France region, only the 30% rolling stock will be on service. The protest will also affect the RER, the rapid transit system serving Paris and the surrounding suburbs. Passengers on lines D, C, and B will experience disruptions.
According to the Directorate General of Civil Aviation, 30% flights departing and arriving at Orly, Roissy, and Beauvais airports have been cancelled due to the strike. Air traffic disruptions may continue on Friday, March 23.
Aeroflot, the Russian airline, has already cancelled flights SU2462/2463 from Sheremetyevo to Charles de Gaulle Airport, scheduled for March 22. The carrier also replaced the aircraft on another Thursday flight from Charles de Gaulle to Sheremetyevo with a more spacious Airbus A321. This was done to accommodate passengers on the cancelled flights.
