French air traffic controllers initiated a second day of strikes on Friday, causing widespread flight cancellations and disruptions across France during the peak summer travel season.
Ryanair announced it had cancelled 400 flights, affecting 70,000 passengers, while easyJet also scrapped numerous services due to the industrial action.
The strike, led by the UNSA-ICNA union, is in protest over demands for improved working conditions, increased staffing levels, better pay, and against new monitoring reforms.
The French Civil Aviation Authority had pre-emptively requested airlines to cut a significant percentage of flights from major French airports, including Paris Charles de Gaulle and Orly.
The UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office has issued a warning to travellers, advising them to check operator advice due to the ongoing industrial action.
