A six-day strike by French air traffic controllers was called off last night (June 25) after talks between Government and union officials.
All flight schedules are expected to return to normal today after union group Unsa-ICNA said the French Government recognised “the importance of investment in the sector”.
The decision comes after two days of severe disruption.
The strike action, which was due to last until June 29, has caused widespread anger and prompted calls for industrial action on this scale to be banned.
The strikes coincided with the first major travel weekend of the busy European summer holiday season.
They are in protest of critical reforms being planned to bring the management of Europe’s airspace into the modern era with efficiencies that would be delivered by the Single European Skies (SES).
No-frills carriers Ryanair and Easyjet were the worst hit by the industrial action with both forced to cancel and delay hundreds of services.
EasyJet said it was expecting "a fairly normal operating day" today.
In a statement the airline said: "The level of disruption caused over the last two days is likely to have some knock on effect throughout today, so regrettably we could still see a number of delays while we fully recover, but we are working hard to minimise any impact to our customers."
Ryanair said all of its scheduled flights on Thursday would operate as normal.
It said all its affected customers had been contacted by email and SMS.
All travellers due to fly to and from France are being urged to check with their airline before travelling.
