Investing.com -- Thousands of airline passengers faced flight cancellations Thursday as French air-traffic controllers began a two-day strike over working conditions at the start of the summer vacation period.
France’s civil aviation agency, DGAC, requested that multiple carriers reduce flights landing at or taking off from several French airports, including Paris Charles de Gaulle, Orly and Nice.
The strike’s impact extended beyond France, affecting flights crossing French airspace even when not destined for the country. Routes to Belgium, Spain, Portugal, Greece, and Morocco experienced delays and rerouting.
Ryanair canceled 170 flights on Thursday, including those passing over France, impacting more than 30,000 passengers.
EasyJet reported canceling 124 flights scheduled for Thursday and an additional 150 flights set for Friday. The airline estimated between 20,000 and 25,000 passengers would be affected each day of the strike.
