French Airlines Prepare for Strike Amid Tax Hike Protests

Major French airlines, including Air France-KLM and Corsair, assert that flight operations will remain uninterrupted despite a planned strike by flight personnel protesting a significant tax increase on air transport. The government’s budget proposal for 2025 includes an additional one billion euros in airline taxes, which has sparked union discontent. Airline executives expressed confidence in maintaining schedules while acknowledging the gradual implementation of the new tax, approved by the National Assembly but set to last only one year starting January 2025.
