EasyJet Strike Threatens Morocco Flights From France July August
A strike notice has been filed at easyJet France following failed negotiations between management and flight crew representatives. The action threatens departures in late July and August, during peak travel season for MREs heading to Morocco.
The meeting held on July 23 failed to defuse the conflict. The union denounces deteriorating schedules, staff shortages, and work organization that has become increasingly unbearable for part of the crews.

In its statement, SNPNC-FO highlights schedule instability, the multiplication of night flights, and mandatory overseas assignments to compensate for operational needs. It accuses management of allowing the situation to deteriorate despite several warnings.
The worst timing for travelers heading to Morocco
The strike timeline is particularly concerning. Late July and August correspond to one of the busiest periods of the year, with planes often full and few alternative solutions available.
MREs who have booked a trip between France and Morocco with easyJet could thus be affected by delays or cancellations. The actual extent of disruptions will depend on crew participation and measures taken by the airline to maintain its schedule.
The union warns that "massive cancellations" could occur without an agreement. At this stage, no precise list of affected flights or cancellation schedule has been communicated.

Travelers are therefore advised to regularly monitor their flight status, messages sent by easyJet, and modification options offered by the airline before heading to the airport.
