Air France strikes continue; 80% of flights to operate May 8
Air France plans to operate 80% of its flights Tuesday May 8, the 15th in a series of day-long strikes over pay that has rocked the carrier and led to the resignation of Air France-KLM group CE Jean-Marc Janaillac after employees voted against his pay proposal plan. The carrier said 95% of long-haul flights would go ahead May 8, with 75% of medium-haul flights to and from its Paris Charles de Gaulle hub operating, as well as 82% of short-haul flights. The proportion of striking workers was smaller than for previous strikes, with 14.2% of pilots, 17.8% of cabin crew and 2.9% of ground staff taking part. Air France said flights for May 7, also a strike day, were operating as forecast. It had predicted 85% of flights would operate: 99% of long-haul, 80% of medium-haul to and from Charles de Gaulle and 87% of short-haul. <br/>
