Ryanair has called on EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen to intervene and prevent further flight disruption across Europe as a result of the air traffic controller strike ongoing in France.

The airline has claimed that since the strikes began at the end of January, more than a million of its passengers have seen their flights disrupted, 80% of which were not flying to or from France.
