France crowned champions of air traffic control strikes
Hindered by strikes and outdated equipment, French air traffic control is responsible for a third of aviation delays in Europe, a report in France claimed on Monday.
Between 2004 and 2016, French air traffic controllers were on strike 254 days, while second-placed Greece only had 46 days of stoppages, Italy 37 and Germany four, according to a senate finance committee report seen by Le Parisien newspaper.
"Every day of a strike in France has a much bigger impact on European traffic than (strikes) in other European countries", the report's author, senator Vincent Capo-Canellas, noted after six months of work including numerous field visits.
