EasyJet French Cabin Crew File Month-Long Strike Notice

EasyJet cabin crew in France have filed a strike notice. The strike period runs from August 7 to September 2, 2026. Unions cite bad work schedules and poor working conditions.

• Strike period: August 7 through September 2, 2026.
• Affected routes: EasyJet flights to, from, or connecting in France.
• Advance notice: Unions can call walkouts with 48 hours notice.
• Action to take: Monitor flight status online before going to Copenhagen Airport.
• Passenger rights: EU rules mandate free rebooking, food, hotel care, or cash refunds.

Crew members will not strike every day. Instead, unions can announce walkouts just 48 hours in advance. This situation creates a risk of flight delays and cancellations across all French airports during peak August travel.

Many Copenhagen residents book easyJet for summer trips to France. Others use French airports to connect to other European cities. If you fly from Copenhagen, check your flight status often before leaving for the airport.

Under EU passenger rights rules, airlines must help you during disruptions. If your flight is canceled, you can get a full refund or a new ticket. EasyJet must also provide meals and hotel rooms during long delays. Keep all receipts for extra expenses while traveling.
