Air France says 25% of flights will be cancelled Monday
Air France’s French unit is predicting that 25% of its flights will be cancelled Monday, on the 10th day of a strike by staff over pay. In a statement on Sunday, the airline company said 65% of its long-haul and medium-haul flights will be carried out from the Charles de Gaulle international airport in Paris. Eight-five percent of short-haul flights will be guaranteed from the Parisian airport of Orly and other regional airports in France, it added. About 28% of the company’s pilots are expected to strike. One flight attendant in five is expected to walk out. The first round of the strike took place in February. Air France on Friday launched a new consultation period with staff members to try to end the dispute that has so far cost it E220m.
