EasyJet France cabin crew strike

Overview

In early August 2026, three French flight‑crew unions (SNPNC‑FO, UNAC‑CFE‑CGC and UNPNC‑CFDT) filed a 27‑day pre‑notice for a strike by EasyJet France cabin crew, covering 7 August to 2 September. The notice is deliberately open‑ended, with “key dates” to be announced at least 48 hours in advance. Unions cite a continuous degradation of working conditions, including schedule instability, last‑minute changes, forced multi‑day tripping and a lack of protective measures.

Following the failure of discussions between management and the union coalition, cabin crew called for a strike on the upcoming Saturday and Sunday, potentially disrupting travel during the August 15 weekend. The unions stated that the company has failed to provide “any concrete and acceptable proposal” to address their demands. Union representative William Bourdon noted that some staff face up to 50 or 60 schedule changes per week, often with only 24 to 48 hours' notice, making personal organization and childcare difficult.

EasyJet, the second‑largest airline in France, expressed disappointment and characterized the strike call as “opportunistic” given the peak summer travel period. The airline maintains it has submitted “adjustment proposals” to address staff concerns and has scheduled further negotiations for September.

As the strike period approaches, EasyJet has cancelled approximately 100 flights departing from French airports on August 15 and 16, impacting major hubs including Paris, Nice, Bordeaux, and Lyon. This includes six round-trip flights between France and Portugal cancelled as a preventive measure. The airline is contacting affected passengers to offer alternatives, such as free transfers to other flights or full refunds.
