France to extend flight reductions at Paris-Orly as strikes continue

France’s civil aviation authority has asked airlines to extend flight cuts at several airports across the country as national strikes against President Emmanuel Macron’s pension reform continue. 

A new round of strikes and demonstrations are planned for Thursday, leading to a 30% capacity cut at Orly airport outside of Paris, and a 20% reduction of air traffic at Marseille-Provence, Toulouse-Blagnac and Lyon-Saint Exupéry airports, the DGAC said in a statement.

At Orly airport, a hub for Air France-KLM’s French arm, capacity restrictions were already in place on Tuesday and Wednesday.
