Ryanair and easyJet cancel hundreds of flights over air traffic control strike
- Ryanair cancelled 170 flights on July 3-4 as a result of a strike by French air traffic controllers, which disrupted flights arriving in, departing from, and passing over France.
- The strike, called by two French unions over staffing shortages and a new clock-in system, follows failed talks with French aviation authorities.
- The strike coincides with the summer holiday start, affecting more than 30,000 passengers and causing cancellations across Paris and Nice airports.
- Ryanair chief Michael O'Leary called the strike unfair, urging EU reforms to eliminate 90% of delays and protect passengers from repeated disruptions.
- The strike highlights ongoing air traffic control vulnerabilities, prompting calls for EU action to ensure staffing and shield flights from domestic industrial actions.
