Aviation Chief Warns Passengers to Brace for Summer of Flight Disruptions
The head of the International Air Transport Association (IATA) has warned of a new wave of flight disruptions for passengers this summer. Director General Willie Walsh highlighted ongoing strikes, particularly by French air traffic controllers, as a significant source of potential delays and cancellations. The conflict in Ukraine continues to restrict European airspace, forcing longer routes and putting pressure on the system. While the industry is better prepared than in previous post-pandemic years, these external factors are expected to create significant operational challenges for airlines and airports.
