Air France pilot strike cost more than E40m

Air France said the last four days of strikes by pilots would cost the airline more than E40m. A spokeswoman for Air France, who confirmed comments given by CE Frederic Gagey, said the company plans to meet unions by the end of the week. "Air France managed to conduct 80% of flights," the spokeswoman said. Air France pilots went on a four-day strike over pay cuts Saturday that could have disrupted transport plans for football fans during Europe's soccer championship. <br/>
