French strikes expected to disrupt air traffic Tuesday

The controllers plan to strike for 24 hr. Most disruptions are expected to hit short- and medium-haul flights. Air France said it "plans to operate 100% of our long-haul flights" on Tuesday but has "had to cancel some domestic and European flights." In addition to the ATC workers striking, many of France's oil refineries have been heavily hit by strikes over the past week, raising the prospect of aircraft fuel shortages in the country. Eurocontrol is advising airlines flying into French airports to carry sufficient fuel for return trips.
