TRAVEL WARNING: FLIGHT DELAYS CAUSE HEAVY DISRUPTION TO PASSENGERS

STRIKE action from France is continuing to take its toll across airports in the UK with multiple flights either being cancelled or delayed today (December 12).

Passengers travelling today have been warned by the Civil Aviation Authority to check the status of their plane’s departure.  

At London City Airport flights have been delayed up to 3 hours with some passengers at London Stansted having to wait up to 4 hours to depart. There are also delays at Bristol, Luton, Heathrow, Leeds and Southampton airports.

Flights had returned more or less to normal over the weekend after being disrupted last Thursday and Friday – the first days of the strike against President Emmanuel Macron’s planned pensions overhaul. However, they commenced again this week with reports indicating that on Tuesday, December 10, 20% of flights going to, from or over France were cancelled.
