Paris Airport Strikes 2026: Current Status and Traveller Advice

Last updated: Aug 10, 2026
Current status — 10 August 2026: No current strike notice is published for Paris Charles de Gaulle, Orly or Le Bourget airports.

Flights are not subject to a strike-specific operating restriction today. Travellers should check their airline and the airport’s live board because ordinary operational delays can still occur.

What to do before heading to the airport

Check in online, confirm the gate and departure time, and allow the normal summer-travel buffer. Do not change a booking solely because an older strike notice still appears in search results.

Your rights if a flight is cancelled or heavily delayed

Under EU261 or UK261, the airline must offer a refund or re-routing when it cancels a covered flight. Meals, refreshments and, when necessary, hotel accommodation may also be due while you wait. Fixed cash compensation depends on the cause: disruption caused by airport, ground-handler or air-traffic-control strikes is generally treated as outside the airline’s control, while action by an airline’s own staff may be treated differently.

Keep receipts and ask the airline to confirm the reason for the disruption in writing.
