February 11, 2008

There were also delays to flights at Charles de Gaulle airport, which is at Roissy, north of the French capital, according to France's civil aviation authority (DGAC). The CGT union behind this latest bout of industrial action is protesting over plans to move air traffic controllers from Orly, south of Paris, to Roissy, before they are all regrouped on one site near Paris in 2015.
