Minor disruptions to New Caledonia air links from strike

5:31 pm on 26 April 2018

There have been minor disruptions to New Caledonia's domestic air services amid an unlimited strike by some firefighters.

Three internal return flights from Noumea's Magenta airport to Lifou and Mare were cancelled yesterday.

The union said the strike had been called because nothing had been done after three of its members at the territory's international airport were harassed despite an agreement to take action.

The strike had no impact on international flights as less than 20 percent of firefighters at Noumea's Tontouta airport joined the action.
