ONE of the busiest airports in Europe faces even more walkouts this summer, after a wave of strikes. Unions representing workers at Aeroports de Paris ADP have confirmed plans to go on strike on July 17. The strikes, confirmed by CGT, CFDT, FO and UNSA unions, will hit Paris just days before the Olympics, which starts on July 26.
It comes after a walkout back in May 19, although it did not cause any major disruption. The new planned walkouts are following disagreements over pay, bonuses and working conditions during the busy Paris Olympics period. Staff are demanding an Olympus bonus as well, with as many as up to 350,000 people expected to travel through Paris ' airports per day.
Charles de Gaulle, one of the busiest airports in the world and the biggest in France , will be affected, as well as Orly Airport. A statement from the ADP unions said: "All the trade unions have unilaterally denounced the divisive methods and choices of management. "We have to conclude that the chief executive has dismissed our demands.
" It isn't clear on how the strikes will affect flights, but it is expected to cause delays and disruption if it goes ahead. The UK Foreign Office has already warned to expect airports to be "much busier than usual" during the Olympics. A wave of strikes are expected across Europe this summer, with Brits warned to expect delays and even cancellations.
Here are some of the destinations set to be hit. Workers at Antalya Airport are already on strike, which started back.
