This is the end of the conflict in Paris airports.

The employees voted this Friday on a proposed agreement, in extremis before the big departures and voted to end the strike.

The prospect of flight cancellations affecting thousands of passengers had already receded on Thursday with the signing of an agreement between Groupe ADP, manager of Roissy, Orly and Le Bourget airports, and the company's firefighters.

The firefighters' strike, which began on June 30, resulted last week in the cancellation of hundreds of flights departing from or arriving at Roissy, France's leading airport.

The other major Ile-de-France platform, Orly, was not affected.

The General Directorate of Civil Aviation (DGAC) had imposed these preventive cancellations, representing up to 20% of flights between 7:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m., in the name of safety: the reduction in the number of available firefighters had made it necessary to close part Roissy slopes.

This measure will therefore not be necessary this weekend, which marks the start of the summer school holidays, confirmed a spokesperson for the DGAC.

The state-controlled Groupe ADP did not give details of the agreement with the firefighters, while "negotiations are continuing in a constructive climate" with representatives of other personnel who have filed a notice of termination. strike from Friday to Sunday inclusive.

These employees are asking for a "general salary increase of 6%", retroactive to January 1, in addition to additional increases for certain categories of staff, as well as an increase in transport allowances and an "improvement in working conditions".

Thursday evening, trade unions also expressed their optimism, while an offer from management must be submitted to a general meeting of staff on Friday morning.
