Answer
Will a strike in France affect flights to Mallorca?
Yes, it can. If French air traffic control is disrupted, flights to and from Mallorca may face delays, diversions, or cancellations because traffic north of the island is closely connected to French-controlled airspace. The impact is often uneven, so some routes may run while others are affected.
