The SNCTA, the union that represents the biggest part of air traffic controllers in France, issued a press release a little while ago.

They note that they are calling off the strike that they had called for Oct 8.
Good to hear as our travel plans were to be impacted.
Good decision to avoid European Commission intervention. French air traffic control is a good example of "mismanagement" and "recreational strikes", blaming staff shortages and recurring work stoppages for a significant increase in flight delays. For Ryanair alone (Europe's largest airline by passenger numbers), according to Europcontrol, 57,000 flights have suffered avoidable delays attributable to French ATC since January 2025, affecting more than 10 million passengers in the year, a 66% increase in delays compared to the same period last year.

Certainly a relief for a lot of travelers, at least for those who knew about the possibility.
