forced airlines to cancel half of those scheduled to arrive or depart airports in Paris and others that were due to have flown over France.
"It is inexplicable that thousands of European citizens/visitors will have their travel plans unfairly disrupted by yet another French ATC strike," Ryanair said. Ryanair said the travel plans of 80,000 passengers had been affected when it had cancelled 420 flights, mainly intended to fly over France.
Aviation authority DGAC, which had asked airlines to halve their flight schedules, said some local airports were temporarily closed, including Montpellier and Rennes, adding there were"significant delays" across the country's airports.
