Supposedly nobody should panic about the lack of fuel though. Why isn't clear, but nobody should worry about it. Maybe the new-fangled airplanes don't really need fuel but run on happy thoughts. BBC:

France is bracing itself for further mass protests over the government's plan to raise the retirement age.

Thousands of students are expected to join a fifth day of demonstrations in less than six weeks. Unions have called for more than 200 marches nationwide.

Strikes have shut most of France's oil refineries and depots and the fuel pipeline to Paris's main airports has been closed.
