Wednesday 21st July is the date announced for an air traffic control strike across France, affecting up to 50% of flights.
Five unions representing civil aviation workers have given notice of a strike from the evening of the 20th through to the morning of the 22nd - the DGCA which represents the unions will confirm actions on Monday.
The unions are calling for strike in protest against a proposal to cut up to 500 jobs in a streamlining process that is said to be necessary for the merge of European air traffic control.
For those planning to fly to or from the Alps next week are likely to face delays and cancellations because of this strike.
