British Airways, Easyjet and Ryanair have all today (June 23) cancelled flights and warned of delays to France due to a national strikes.
The action from French air traffic control unions over changes to pay and working conditions has been slammed by Ryanair which has renewed calls for government intervention.
The Irish carrier has been forced to cancel 56 flights to and from France following the 51st strike by ATC unions since 2009.
Air France has said all of its flights will go ahead as planned but warned of delays and disruption.
Passengers have been advised to contact their airline before travelling.
In a statement BA said: “Unfortunately we will have to cancel some flights as a result of the strike action and other short-haul flights may also experience some disruption, given how many flights would normally use French airspace each day.
“We will be using larger aircraft, where possible, to help affected customers and are doing all we can to reduce the levels of disruption.”
Easyjet said: “We would like to inform customers that there will be a French national strike on Thursday. This will have an impact on our flights to and from French airports, as well as those flying in French airspace.
“As the strike will affect all French airports we have taken the decision to proactively cancel a number of flights, allowing customers to re-organise their journeys.”
