EasyJet strike cancels nearly 100 flights in France over the weekend

Around 100 EasyJet flights departing from France have been cancelled due to a cabin crew strike today and Sunday, protesting against the 'continued degradation' of working conditions and demanding more stable schedules. A spokesperson for the British airline told AFP that 'about 100 flights scheduled for the entire weekend were cancelled in advance' and that alternative options, such as free transfers to other flights, were offered to customers. William Bourdon, a representative of the SNPNC-FO union, stated that the strike has strong support, with 68% of the approximately 340 cabin crew members assigned for the weekend participating. The strike, supported by three unions, follows failed negotiations regarding working conditions, specifically the instability of schedules. This action is part of a broader call for strikes between August 7 and September 2, meaning further disruptions could occur in the coming weeks.

EasyJet strike cancels at least 40 flights over the weekend in France

At least 40 EasyJet flights will be cancelled this Saturday in France due to a cabin crew strike, with further cancellations expected on Sunday during one of the busiest weekends of the summer. Currently, 39 flights departing from French airports have already been cancelled for Saturday, according to the newspaper Les Echos, cited by the EFE news agency, with a similar number of cancellations expected for return flights. The strike, supported by three cabin crew unions, was called following the failure of negotiations with management regarding working conditions. EasyJet operates at Paris Charles de Gaulle and Orly airports, as well as in Lyon, Nantes, Bordeaux, and Nice. Unions report a continuous degradation of working conditions and are demanding, among other measures, greater schedule stability. They criticise last-minute changes, multi-day flight sequences, and rotations they consider particularly demanding. The strike is part of a call issued by the unions for the period between 7 August and 2 September, meaning further industrial action may occur in the coming weeks. In France, EasyJet employs several thousand workers, a significant portion of whom are cabin crew. France is one of the carrier's main markets in continental Europe, where the British company has expanded its operations in recent years. EasyJet's profit fell 70% to 99 million due to lower demand and fuel prices.

Lufthansa says it will ensure about 75% of flights during the two-day strike

Lufthansa guaranteed today that approximately 75% of its flights should be maintained during the two-day strike, which ends this Tuesday, called by the pilots' union Vereinigung Cockpit. Contacted by the Agence France-Presse (AFP), Lufthansa stated that the rate of flights maintained across the entire group amounts to 'about 75%'. About one-third of short-haul flights and half of long-haul flights will be operated by the Lufthansa brand during the strike, which was called due to disputes over pensions and worker remuneration. At Eurowings, a Lufthansa subsidiary where the pilots' union Vereinigung Cockpit (VC) called a one-day strike, the rate of flights maintained is about 60%, according to the group. The strike affects flights from the Lufthansa brand and its subsidiaries CityLine and Eurowings, as well as the cargo division Lufthansa Cargo. Contacted by AFP, the VC union was not yet able to provide its own figures. According to a spokesperson for Frankfurt Airport, Germany's largest, 'about 570 flights' were cancelled today across all air traffic, including other airlines, representing about 43% of flights. On Saturday, a Lufthansa spokesperson had described the strike as an 'unprecedented scale' and declared that the union's main demand, 'which consists of doubling a company pension scheme that is already above average and excellent, is absurd and unachievable'. According to the president of the VC union, Andreas Pinheiro, 'employers have not shown any concrete willingness to find a solution throughout several collective disputes'. Even so, Andreas Pinheiro stated he is leaving the door open to dialogue, since 'employers have, at any moment, the possibility of avoiding the strike by presenting negotiable proposals'. The last strike by Lufthansa pilots and its subsidiaries dates back to March 12 and 13 of this year. Hundreds of flights were cancelled in Germany due to the strike by Lufthansa cabin crew.
