Air France has seen approximately 15 per cent of its planned departures cancelled today as a strike by cabin crew continues to cause disruption.

Several unions walked out on Saturday as part of five days of action in protest against changes in working conditions.

The strike is expected to continue until Wednesday November 2nd.

Flight schedules have been reduced for the duration with Air France warning it could not rule out the possibility of “on the spot” cancellations.

Cabin crew, who called the strike during the middle of the half-term holidays in France, have been angered by a plan to reduce staffing on long-haul trips.

Government minister Nathalie Kosciusko-Morizet has publicly criticised the unions, primarily over the timing.

“Air France is in a delicate position,” she told Europe 1 radio in an interview, with the carrier expected to release financial results on November 9th.

Passengers have also been angered by planes appearing to run with empty seats despite the strike.

Air France explained that to keep as many planes in the air as possible short-haul flights were being limited to 100 passengers so flight stewards numbers stayed within safety limits.

LATEST | Qantas hopes to recommence domestic and international flights "as early as Monday afternoon" following an order by Fair Work Australia for unions to end their series of crippling Qantas strikes.
Qantas CEO Alan Joyce welcomed the FWA ruling as one which "provides certainty for Qantas passengers".
"We will be getting our aircraft back up in the air as soon as possible. It could be as early as Monday afternoon on a limited schedule."
The FWA verdict gives Qantas and the three unions 21 days to settle their dispute and reach a binding agreement – failing that, the FWA will force a compulsory arbitration.

PREVIOUS | Qantas has cancelled every single worldwide Qantas-operated flight immediately, until Monday October 31, as it raises the stakes in its ongoing battle with unions to an unprecedented level.
All Qantas flights, from domestic Australian services to international flights, are now grounded.
The airline has locked out all the unionised workforce taking industrial action: pilots, engineers, baggage handlers, ground staff and catering staff -- which in effect means that Qantas simply can't fly.
The airline advises that "customers booked on Qantas flights should not go to the airport until further notice".
In a press conference today at Qantas' Sydney headquarters, CEO Alan Joyce announced that there will be "no further Qantas domestic departures or international departures anywhere in the world".
Read Alan Joyce's statement in full, and see what Qantas will cover in terms of compensation for stranded passengers.
"Jetstar flights, QantasLink flights and Qantas flights across the Tasman operated by Jetconnect will continue," an airline statement said.
Qantas is requesting that only passengers booked for travek within the next 24 hours call its contact centres (13 13 13 from within Australia).

"A full refund will be available to any customer who chooses to cancel their flight because it has been directly affected by the grounding of the fleet" the airline says. "Full rebooking flexibility will be available to customers who wish to defer their travel."
"Assistance with accommodation and alternative flights, as well as other support, will be offered to customers who are mid-journey."
Competitor Virgin Australia is offering special "Stranded Passenger" fares to Qantas passengers stuck away from home.

Qantas has accused the Australian Licenced Aircraft Engineers Association (ALAEA) of ruining has the travel plans of more than 11,000 passengers following the cancellation of a strike.

The Australian flag-carrier was forced to cancel 40 flights, delay 24 flights by up to three and a half hours and bring forward 14 flights earlier today due to the planned four hour strikes this afternoon in Melbourne, Brisbane and Sydney.

However, the strike was called off just three hours before it was due to begin, too late for scheduled services to be reinstated.

This is the second time this year that the union has planned a strike and then called it off at the last minute, argued Qantas.

It also comes after the Transport Workers Union cancelled planned strike action at the last minute on Friday.

In a sign this was an intentional “game” by the union, the media were notified that the strikes have been cancelled however Qantas has still not been formally notified, the airline fumed.

Qantas Group Executive Government and Corporate Affairs Olivia Wirth said the union was clearly intent on causing severe disruptions and making customers book with other airlines.

“We apologise to all of our customers who have been delayed because of cynical games from the union.

“We would like to re-instate services but it’s too late. You can’t just turn an airline on and off.

“The engineers’ union has waited until a few hours before the planned strike to call it off so that passengers are still disrupted and the Qantas business has been damaged but their members don’t lose any money from going on strike.”

Qantas rejected the “baseless claims” from the union that a threatening letter was sent to employees.

Since unions commenced strike action six weeks ago 46,500 passengers have been impacted on 348 cancelled or delayed flights.

ALAEA leadership blamed the decision to cancel the strike on threatening actions from Qantas – accusing the airline of illegally threatening to withhold up to seven hours pay for the time not worked.

ALAEA federal secretary Steve Purvinas said: “The airline is playing dirty pool with our members by threatening them for taking lawful industrial action.”

Union leaders have called for British Airways cabin crew to hold off from strikes over the Easter and Royal Wedding holidays, raising hopes of a final settlement in the long-running dispute.

Members of Unite voted last month to stage fresh industry action, which threatened to cause chaos over what is one of the busiest periods in the aviation calendar.

Unite leader, Len McCluskey, and BA chief executive, Keith Williams, have met in recent weeks to negotiate a deal. The row has so far led to 22 days of strikes over the past year, and cost BA around £150 million.

But in a joint statement the two sides said that a 28-day extension had been agreed to allow for further talks, and that lasting peace was essential for the good of both parties.

“To achieve such a peace, it is understood by British Airways that cabin crew must feel that their concerns are being fairly dealt with, and it is recognised by the Union that the management and acceptance of change is the key to lasting peace.

“British Airways and the union have embarked already on a process of cooperation building, assisted by a highly-regarded external company. It is hoped that this continuing process will help develop and strengthen trust.

“The current strike ballot mandate given by cabin crew means industrial action must be announced by April 15. Both Parties accept that this would severely undermine any attempt at a genuine settlement.”

“Accordingly, British Airways is prepared to grant an extension of 28 days to the Union. A variety of meetings will now take place in the belief that the optimism of recent weeks can be turned into a reality that will allow British Airways to focus on delivering the high-quality service our customers expect and to take all its staff confidently into the future.”

The row started over cost-cutting plans but spread to the removal of travel concessions to crew who went on strike, as well as disciplinary action taken against a number of Unite members.

Spanish airport workers have voted to call off 22 days of strike action, a spokesman from Spain's largest union CCOO said on Friday, averting disruption over peak holiday periods between April and August.

"A total of 70 percent of votes were in favour of calling off the strike, with 29.7 votes against and a couple of abstentions," the CCOO spokesman said.

Spanish airport operator AENA and unions reached a preliminary agreement to call off the action on March 16 which took on board workers' concerns over conditions and job security related to the planned privatisation of the operator.
