  • 16/09/2022

A French air traffic control strike is expected to affect tens of thousands of passengers on Friday.

Ryanair has cancelled 420 flights, the majority of which were to fly over France, affecting 80,000 passengers.

EasyJet has cancelled 76 flights, British Airways has cancelled 22, and Air France has stated that it will only operate 45% of its short-haul flights.

Separately, during Queen Elizabeth's state funeral on Monday, 15% of Heathrow Airport's schedule will be altered.

There will be flight cancellations, including 100 British Airways flights and four Virgin Atlantic flights, to keep the skies over London quiet during the events.
