Strike by French air traffic controllers causes delays disru
FRENCH air traffic controllers have held a two-day strike that sparked flight delays at Paris and regional airports, and led to the cancellation of one fifth of services. reports Bloomberg.
There were delays of up to 30 minutes at airports around the French capital, an official at the country civil aviation authority told Bloomberg. In the southern city of Marseille, take-offs and landings were running 40 minutes late on average.
Air traffic controllers called the strike to protest against plans to lower the rate at which retiring colleagues are replaced, the UNSA-ICNA union said in a statement.
Ryanair slammed the union as "selfish" and called for their right to strike to be taken away.
Hundreds of flights were once again grounded across Europe on Monday as French air traffic controllers continued their latest two day strike.
Ryanair said this was the 42nd day lost to strikes by French air traffic controllers since 2009.
The union, which represents 20 per cent of French controllers, says that while their actions may leave people angry, the strike is aimed at improving safety.
