Hundreds of flights cancelled as French air traffic controllers strike

Holidaymakers and business travellers are facing travel chaos this week, as French air traffic controllers go on strike for the next six days.

The strike has been called as a protest against the Single European Sky (SES) reforms, intended to unify services and increase efficiency. Hundreds of flights between France and the UK have already been cancelled, and thousands of planes due to fly over France are expected to be delayed by several hours.
