French controllers delay flights on airports by Zivka Deleva

The sky over France today was closed for everyone who wanted to travel and use the airtraffic. The air traffic controllers are not satisfied with the idea of the unified European airspace. They started the strike in Tuesday night and today they cancelled all the flights in and out of France. The civil aviation of the French Republic proposed the airlines to remove about 20 percent of the flight today at Charles de Gaulle airport and more - 50 percent at the Orly airport. I don't know what will the controllers achieve with the strike, but they still can try. The concept about the Single European Sky means that the sky over Europe is abo! ut to get better control, efficiency in the airtraffic. Normally, the french controllers are afraid how will this situation influence them. I don't know why other nation's controllers don't strike on the same issue. OK, maybe French people are more used to protesting. The National carrier Air France convinced people that everything is going to be fine. But still when one mentions some percentage of realization, that doesn't mean that everything is under control. It is not possible for something to be in control if the controllers are in strike! It is not all right when you are a traveler from who knows where and you reach to the airport in France and they tell you - We don't know when will go back home! It is good to protest, to try to achieve more and fight against injustice, but it is not travelers fault, that's for sure. It is not rare for French controllers to strike. They did the same mess in February.
