France has requested airlines to reduce flights at Paris airports in response to a planned air traffic controller strike. This strike has led to widespread flight delays and cancellations affecting destinations across France, Europe, North Africa, and beyond. The disruption has caused a domino effect on air travel schedules. Meanwhile, in Spain, the Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas Airport experienced severe passenger congestion and long queues, particularly in Terminal 4, coinciding with the July holiday travel period. The congestion was exacerbated by a temporary IT system failure, which has since been resolved. Spanish authorities described the delays and long lines as a "punctual failure." The situation at Barajas added to broader transportation challenges in Spain, including a railway crisis that led to missed flights for hundreds of travelers. Passengers affected by the French strike are seeking information on their rights regarding flight cancellations, delays, and compensation for tickets and accommodations. The strike's impact extends beyond France, contributing to travel disruptions across multiple regions.
