A one-day strike scheduled by air traffic controllers in France for Tuesday, June 3, 2003 has forced the DGAC (French Civil Aviation Authority) to apply minimum service rules and to allocate a certain number of flights to each airline.

The following regional airports in France will be closed during the strike. Avignon (AVN), Brest (BES), Biarritz (BIQ), Metz/Nancy (ETZ), Grenoble (GNB), Lille (LIL), Montpellier (MPL), Perpignan (PGF) and Pau (PUF).

Air France plans to operate 100 percent of its long-haul flights and 35 percent of its medium and short-haul flights.

British Airways is expecting to cancel 90 of its 120 daily flights into France. British Airways flights to and from France will be affected at Heathrow, Gatwick, London City, Birmingham, Manchester, Bristol and Edinburgh.

At the time of this press release we have not been notified by other carriers with scheduled flights into France but assume their schedules will be effected by the strike.
