European airlines and passengers faced yet another day of major disruption on Friday due to a strike of French air traffic controllers that forced France’s aviation authority DGAC to impose limitations on the number of flights. The industrial action, called by the country’s largest air traffic controllers’ union SNCTA after talks over wage increases to compensate for the high inflation collapsed, will run from September 16 at 04:00 UTC to 04:00 on September 17.
