Travel to France is set to be disrupted on Tuesday (January 26) due to a French public sector strike, which could affect air traffic control, public transport and taxi services.
The industrial action is set to start at 18.00 GMT on Monday and run until 05.00 GMT on Wednesday.
European air traffic control organisation Eurocontrol has asked nine major French airports to reduce their normal schedules by 20 per cent on Tuesday.
The airports affected will be Charles De Gaulle, Orly, Beauvais–Tille, Lyon–Saint-Exupery, Nice Cote d'Azur, Marseille Provence, Bordeaux–Merignac, Toulouse Blagnac and Nantes Atlantique.
Passengers travelling to France are also being warned that there may be disruption to public transport services and taxis because of the strike. Taxi drivers may also blockade access roads to some major airports.
Air France said it planned to operate its entire long-haul schedule on Tuesday but would only fly 80 per cent of its normal short and medium-haul services.
"French taxi drivers' protests are expected, access to Paris-Charles de Gaulle, Paris-Orly, Toulouse, Marseille et Bordeaux airports will be disrupted," said Air France.
"Before going to the airport, we recommend you to verify the flight schedule information updated in real time on our site."
Easyjet said in statement: “Like all airlines, our flights to and from French airports, as well as those flying in French airspace, might be affected.
“We are doing everything possible to minimise the impact of the strike on our customers, and will communicate to affected customers directly via SMS on the details provided at the time of booking.
“We advise all passengers to allow plenty of extra time to get to the airport and consider alternative transport options where possible, as public transport services might be affected by the strike.
“There is also a strong possibility of taxi driver manifestations blocking access roads to some of the major airports.”
