In addition to Air France’s threatened strike by pilots and other airline personnel on the 6th, 7th and 8th February there are strikes planned in February in other European Countries, namely, Greece, Portugal and Italy.
The Transport strike on the 2nd February is the second day of this General Transport strike in Portugal. The 9th February is the next date for the24 hour general strike in Greece (it is worth checking whether Athens and Thessaloniki Airports will be affected). On the 13th February there is an Air France/KLM strike due at Malpensa Airport at Milan and though only planned for 4 hours, this will be enough to disrupt flights for the day. Check with your travel agent or airline if travelling at these times in the countries affected by strikes.
