French air traffic strike to affect thousands of passengers
EasyJet is cancelling 76 flights, British Airways will cancel 22, while Air France said it would only run 45% of its short-haul flights. Ryanair called for other European air traffic controllers to be allowed to manage flights over France to ease the impact. Air France KLM said the French civil aviation authority - DGAC - had asked airlines to cut their Friday schedules from all French airports by 50%.Air France said it would only run 45% of its short and medium-haul flights, and 90% of long-haul. "Given France's geography, most flights from the UK and Ireland to Spain and Portugal would normally overfly France and be controlled by its air traffic control service." The flight cuts affect the whole of France and will affect several airlines, the DGAC said, adding that it was currently working with the European air travel regulator Eurocontrol to help airlines avoid the country's air space.
