French Air Traffic Controllers Union Cancels Three-Day Strike

France’s main air traffic controllers’ union canceled a three-day strike planned to start Oct. 7, citing in part Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu’s decision on Friday not to invoke a constitutional tool known as Article 49.3 to bypass votes in parliament on the 2026 budget bill.

The union also said some agreements had been reached, but didn’t provide further details. The union’s grievances had included wanting salaries adjusted for inflation.
