The eighth day of mobilization against the pension reform could lead to less disruption. Wednesday should not be a "black day" in public transport, said Transport Minister Clément Beaune on Tuesday morning. "In Ile-de-France, there will be little disruption. At the SNCF today it is not a normal situation and it should be worse tomorrow. In air transport, only at Orly airport, there will be 20% fewer flights, "said the minister on France 2.

"I don't think it's a black day" on Wednesday, said Clément Beaune. He conceded, however, that "when you have a galley and you have your train cancelled, you always consider it a black day". "It will be less penalizing", "we will not be in the levels of disruption of public transport that we experienced during previous mobilizations", continued the minister.

Fewer flight cancellations

At the SNCF, a renewable strike was launched on March 7 at the call of all railway unions against the pension reform, and up to 80% of TGVs had been canceled during previous days of mobilization.

In air transport, flight cancellations for Wednesday are also expected to be less numerous than last week, when they had affected, in addition to the Paris platforms of Orly and Roissy, regional airports, and affected up to 30% of aircraft movements.
