Air Corsica pilot strike begins Oct 9, reroutes Ajaccio flights to Bastia

A pilot strike at Air Corsica started on Friday 9 October and is scheduled to run until 16 October, with the SNPL and SPAC announcing the strike notice.

Passengers at Ajaccio Napoléon‑Bonaparte were rerouted to Bastia Poretta and provided with bus transfers, while the airline said it will use other French and European carriers to keep as many connections as possible, adjust timetables and may change arrival cities and times; 140 pilots are represented by the unions and missed connections, such as a flight to Tokyo, have incurred additional costs.
