Airlines warn of flight disruptions over French ATC strike
Ryanair, Aer Lingus and EasyJet have warned of flight disruptions Saturday and Sunday due to a strike by French air traffic controllers. Ryanair said it had been forced to cancel up to 100 flights across Europe over the weekend. Aer Lingus has had no cancellations but warned of 16 "flight disruptions" while EasyJet said 65% of its flights use French air space and may be delayed. Ryanair said German and French Air Traffic Control staff shortages also caused delays to some flight departures Friday morning. Thursday, Willie Walsh of IAG also argued that the EC was not adequately protecting flights over France and that EU law was being infringed. Walsh and Ryanair CE Michael O'Leary were both speaking in Brussels after a meeting with Europe's transport commissioner, Violeta Bulc. <br/>
