FranceThe French Court of Auditors has criticized the management of human resources at the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGAC), highlighting issues such as excessive salary inflation, insufficient working hours, an unsuitable status for air traffic controllers, and an inability to anticipate recruitment needs or improve operational performance. The report comes amid growing pressure on the DGAC, which was previously noted by a Senate finance committee for being the least efficient air traffic control system in Europe. In 2025, flight delays caused by inefficiencies resulted in €800 million in losses for airlines and significant inconvenience for passengers. A notable event occurred on July 3 and 4, 2025, when 257 strikes, including 233 air traffic engineers, led to the cancellation of 1,400 flights affecting over a million passengers. The DGAC employs 10,320 staff, including 3,800 air traffic control engineers, directly under the Ministry of Transport.
