Bulgaria: Air France Strike to Disrupt Sofia Flights

Sofia-Paris flights will be affected by the one-week-long strike by Air France light crews, Sofia Airport says.

Flight No AF1789 from Sofia to Paris, scheduled for 17:05, has been cancelled, alongside with AF1788 that was to land from Paris at 16:15.

Flight AF5030 from Paris to Sofia, initially scheduled to land at 14:00, is expected to suffer a 20-minute delay.

No information is immediately available for Sofia-Paris flights over the course of the week. 

The strike, which begins on Wednesday, will affect a total of 30% of domestic and medium-haul flights (the latter category including most Europe reaching Azerbaijan, North Africa, Israel and several local flights in Asia and Africa).

Those taking part are about 35% of flight attendants, or 13 600 of the national flag carrier's 50 000-strong workforce.
