Contributing factors
- several French ATC industrial actions throughout the month generated high delays in French ACCs such as Marseille, Brest, Paris and Bordeaux;
- low visibility and strong winds impacted operations at Amsterdam/Schiphol, Lisbon, London/Heathrow and Madrid/Barajas airports;
- high delay due to ATC capacity in Karlsruhe UAC;
- staffing shortage in Karlsruhe, Marseille, Reims and Lisboa ACCs.
