More disruption over air traffic control strikes

Holiday travel chaos looms as French air traffic controllers plan further work stoppages this month

Thousands of Irish holidaymakers face travel chaos as French air traffic controllers warned of further industrial action later in the month, with dozens of flights already cancelled.

Yesterday marked the first of a two-day stoppage by the Syndicat National des Contrôleurs du Trafic Aérien (SNCTA), the largest union for French air traffic controllers, with hundreds of flights to and from France cancelled as a result.
