France’s Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGAC) has ordered airlines to cut half of their flights on Friday due to a planned strike by air traffic controllers.
The DGAC was responding to the strike called for Sept. 16 by the SNCTA union, the authority said in an e-mailed statement Tuesday. Minimum service rules will be applied where appropriate.

Despite preventive measures, “flight cancellations and significant delays can be expected” throughout the French territory, the DGAC said. “Passengers who can are invited to postpone their trips.”
The DGAC said it is working with Eurocontrol to offer alternative flight routes to airlines on Friday.
