Air France strike sees 30 percent of flights cancelled
PARIS (AP) — Some 30 percent of Air France flights were cancelled Saturday as strikes over pay rises appear to be intensifying.
And that's just part of France's travel troubles this month. Most French trains will screech to a halt as a strike over President Emmanuel Macron's economic reforms resumes Saturday night — a strike that is set to last through Monday.
Screens at Paris' Charles de Gaulle Airport showed red "cancelled" notes next to multiple flights Saturday, as families around France and Europe headed off on spring vacations.
The one-day Air France walkout is affecting international and domestic travel, notably a quarter of flights at Paris' Charles de Gaulle and Orly airports.
