France strike info - Airport blockades expected today at Toulouse, demonstations in Perpignan

FROGBUS.com SERVICES WILL RUN AS NORMAL, however, allow extra time for delays due to possible demonstrations & blockades in the Perpignan city centre area.


Expect disruption at French airports today with union groups blocking access to several major airports, including Toulouse (TLS), in the continuing industrial action over the pensions reform. Other strikes planned over the weekend seem less certain to go ahead at this point.

Girona airport routes which overfly France could experience cancellations and delays as a result of the action in France. The best advice is to check with your departing airline & airport before travelling.
