French flight disruptions worsen as controllers strike
French aviation authorities asked airlines to cancel more Paris and Marseille flights as a 2-day strike by air-traffic controllers disrupts services for passengers across France and in other European cities. Orly airport was particularly hard hit by labour disruptions, the Direction Generale de l’Aviation Civile said Sunday. Even before the latest request for cancellations through Monday, as many as 180 flights had been called off across France, it said. The strike caused delays of more than an hour on average at airports around the capital and in regions like Toulouse and Bordeaux, and of 2 hours in Marseille. DGAC didn’t estimate the number of flights that would be cancelled through Monday. It did say that services at Paris Charles de Gaulle were unlikely to be affected. <br/>
