It’s Thursday. And obviously, that means it must be time for French Air Traffic Control to go out of strike as part of the French unions calling for a national strike on the 19th May.
Again.

It seems the French unions are still unhappy with the Government about labour reforms and are striking in protest of the changes.
Other transportation options will be impacted – SNCF is reporting that they have a reduced service, with unions hitting SNCF every Wednesday and Thursday until the Euro 2016 Football championship.
As usual, plan ahead and stay out of the protesters way.
