Flight Disruptions Continue

25 Feb 2010
Fight disruptions continued at Paris' Roissy-Charles de Gaulle Airport (LFPG/CDG) and Orly Airport (LFPO/ORY) on 25 February 2010 as air traffic controllers entered the third day of their strike. Long-haul flights from Paris remained largely unaffected by the work stoppage, though many flights experienced significant delays. Air France officials stated that the airline was operating 75 percent of its domestic and European flights at Roissy-Charles de Gaulle Airport and 50 percent at Orly Airport. Although negotiations continued between the air traffic controllers' union and the Transport Ministry, there were no reports of a resolution. Union representatives stated that the strike could continue until 27 February.
