Less TER and Intercités
Also improved on the TER side.
No line should be completely cut this Thursday as was the case on January 31.
However, traffic will still be disrupted.
The SNCF provides
"three out of five circulations for the Pays de la Loire region"
.
There will also be better for the Intercités: two out of three trains will run on the Nantes-Bordeaux line and one out of four trains on the Nantes-Lyon line.
Fewer flights at the airport
This Thursday, the air traffic controllers' unions are calling for participation in the fifth day of strike action against pension reform.
To limit disruption, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGAC) has required carriers to cancel 20% of their aircraft movements at several airports including Nantes-Atlantique.
Despite this provision, delays are still possible.
In a press release, the DGAC invites passengers who can postpone their trip and inquire with their airline to find out the status of their flight.
