A MAJOR budget airline is facing travel chaos as staff promise to walk out THIS weekend.
EasyJet cabin crew in France are vowing to walk out due to rota arrangements and working conditions.
A strike notice was issued for August 7 to September 2 which means staff can walk out at any time during that period.
However, 48 hours notice must be given.
And now the strike dates have been announced for August 15 and 16.
Airports facing disruptions include Lyon, Nice, Paris Orly, Bordeaux and Paris Charles de Gaulle.

A spokesperson for easyJet told Sun Travel: “We are extremely disappointed that unions representing our France-based cabin crew have announced plans for industrial action on 15 and 16 August, outside any formal negotiation process and despite our offer of adjustments to tackle their concerns.
“Given we have planned negotiations in September, we call on the unions to call off this opportunistic action at this important time of the year for our customers.
“We are sorry for the impact the unnecessary action will have on our customers.
“We will do all we can to minimise disruption. Customers whose flights are affected will be informed directly and will be offered options including a free transfer or a refund.
“We advise customers travelling to or from France on 15 and 16 August to check the status of their flight via our Flight Tracker.”
In a statement from the group of unions said: “Any flight cancellations or disruptions resulting from these days of action will be solely attributable to easyJet, which has chosen not to give a serious response to the repeated warnings from trade unions over the past months.”
A previous strike notice was suspended due to wildfires in the Gironde region.
The unions said at the time: “For nearly a year, the unions have been warning easyJet management about the continuous deterioration of cabin crew working conditions: chronic schedule instability, last-minute changes, imposed trip patterns, particularly burdensome rotations, and a total lack of protective measures.”
