Air France: Strike action on Friday 19 September

air-france-aibus-a380Air France regrets this situation and is making every effort to minimize the inconvenience this strike action may cause to its customers.

Air France asks its customers to check on www.airfrance.com that their flight is operating before going to the airport.

Air France once again recommends its customers with a flight reservation between 15 and 22 September to postpone their trip or change their ticket at no extra cost.

7,000 Air France employees are doing all they can to assist customers.

Since last week, close to 1.2 million texts and messages have been sent to inform customers due to travel between 15 and 22 September, individually and in real time.

If the strike action continues beyond 19 September, the flight schedule will be adjusted accordingly. Customers will be informed of the potential impact the day before departure. However there may be other disruption and delays.

How to postpone your trip

Customers can postpone their trip until between 23 September and 8 October 2014, at no extra cost, subject to availability. 

Customers whose flight is cancelled will receive a full refund.

They can also choose to receive a voucher valid for one year on Air France or KLM to postpone their trip beyond 8 October 2014, to change their destination or departure airport or if they choose not to travel.
