Good news as the call for strike action over the next few days has been lifted by French Air Traffic Control Union.

The union (SNCTA) is the largest in France, as has apparently called off the strike after being happy with recent proposals put on the table by the French secretary of state for transport.

Still up for discussion are certain working practises and their wish to extend the retirement age from 59, but for the time being it seems no more strikes will be held in the immediate future.
