European airlines brace for more strike action
European airlines are bracing for further disruption from a 5-day French air traffic control strike, while Finnair is recovering from the tail end of a ground handling walkout. A4E has warned that French ATC action could result in more than 1,000 flight cancellations and severe delays. A4E said airlines will have to reduce capacity by 25% this week because of the action. “Not only flights serving Paris are affected, but also services overflying France, including links from the UK and Italy, Switzerland and Spain,” A4E said. The March 6-10 walkout involves workers at the Brest and Bordeaux control centres. Colleagues from the south of France will join in from March 7. <br/>
