Dear clients,

In connection with the French civil aviation authorities and the bodies of the judicial reorganization, Aigle Azur, in great economic difficulty, was unfortunately obliged to cancel all its flights from Saturday, September 7 included.

In fact, the financial situation of the company and the resulting operational difficulties made it possible to ensure flights only until the evening of 6 September.

Since September 7, 2019, regardless of the airport of departure, Aigle Azur flights are canceled.

If you are a passenger of Aigle Azur for a scheduled flight on September 6th, thank you for checking that your flight is maintained by consulting the list of confirmed flights below.


WARNING: if you fly back after September 6, 2019, regardless of the departure airport, this flight is canceled. You will be forced to purchase another return ticket.

The financial situation of the company does not allow to guarantee a compensation, the procedures will have to be committed by the organs of the procedure for this purpose.

British Airways pilots have begun a two-day strike in an ongoing dispute over pay and conditions. Tens of thousands of passengers have been told not to go to airports, and BA says most have made alternative arrangements. Both BA and the pilots' union Balpa have indicated that they are willing to start new talks. Nonetheless, the vast majority of BA flights taking off from the UK on Monday and Tuesday have been cancelled. There was also a knock-on effect to flights on Sunday, because planes and pilots needed to be in position for prior and subsequent journeys. Dozens of flights were cancelled and further unforeseen cancellations could happen on Wednesday. In its most recent announcement, BA said: "We remain ready and willing to return to talks with Balpa." Meanwhile, Balpa's general secretary, Brian Strutton, said: "It is time to get back to the negotiating table and put together a serious offer that will end this dispute." It is the first time BA pilots have walked out and the action could cost the airline up to £40m a day. Some 4,000 pilots will strike and almost all of the 1,600 flights that were due to fly will be grounded.

Swedish might not be one of the world's most widely spoken languages – but most people are now familiar with the term "flygskam". This "flight shame" campaign to make people think twice about travelling by air because of concerns about the aviation industry's impact on climate change is gathering pace – and it is already having an impact on passenger numbers in its country of origin. As more people sign up to movements on social media carrying hashtags such as #StayGrounded and #FlyingLess, airlines face more public pressure than ever to show that they are serious about cutting carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Growing social awareness and public debate has given politicians in the Netherlands and Sweden the ammunition to pursue attempts to introduce an EU-wide environmental tax on aviation, and it has pushed the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) to consider introducing an aircraft emissions grading system that will enable people to make more informed choices and opt for the most fuel-efficient carriers when booking a flight.
Airline industry representatives say they have yet to see a meaningful reduction in passenger numbers as a result of flygskam. Behind the scenes, however, they are stepping up efforts to publicly communicate the efficiency measures they are putting in place, in the hope that they can wrest control of the debate from the hands of an increasingly vocal anti-flying lobby.
