The national unified air traffic controllers office agreed on organizing a strike starting August 3, after the meeting held between its members, said the office in a recent press release.

Air traffic controllers are planning to strike for 15 days, after that the previous strike was suspended in 2019, according to the office’s Facebook post.

“Air traffic controllers, all, without exception have the full conviction of the legitimacy of their action because it affects primarily their image within the ONDA,” the office said in a recent press release.

“Today, the mechanical marginalization of the airport air traffic controller is believed to destabilize all air traffic controllers both professionally and personally, but it represents a supererogatory brake on social cohesion within the ONDA,” added the press release.

“We have taken our responsibilities to the end, to each their duties and the repercussions are different,” they said.

The democratic confederation of labor also said in a recent press release that ONDA does not give any consideration to all the sacrifices that the air traffic controllers make, and it continues to disvalue their bodies and the essential role they play.

A source from within ONDA told Hespress EN that negotiations are ongoing with those airport workers in order to avoid this action.

Euro control wrote on Twitter, “the industrial action is not officially confirmed, and will impact all traffic from and to Morocco, plus overflights.”
