France: air traffic controllers (SNCTA) call strike on 14–16 May 2026
Last Updated:
The SNCTA, the majority French air traffic controllers' union (~60% representation at the DGAC), has filed a strike notice for the Ascension long weekend: Thursday 14, Friday 15 and Saturday 16 May 2026. A separate second notice (for 9–10–11 May, the 8 May long weekend) was withdrawn. The SNCTA frequently lifts its notices following last-minute conciliation with the DGAC (cf. October 2025), so the actual maintenance of the action remains to be verified in the 24–48 hours before 14 May.
This alert was originally created on 11 May 2026.
