French pilots voted Saturday to press ahead with a strike which has severely hit flag carrier Air France, the head of their main union told AFP, ensuring further disruption.
SNPL president Jocelyn Smykowski said that “an overwhelming majority” of 65 percent of members of the union’s council had backed continuing the strike until midnight (2300 GMT) on Monday.
Air France management said cancellations were in line with expectations at around 30 to 35 percent of long-haul flights and half of all other flights.
It expects the picture to be broadly similar Sunday.
Flights due to take off from Terminal 2F at Paris Charles-de-Gaulle airport for Beirut, Belgrade, Bologna, Copenhagen and Zagreb as well as the French cities of Lyon, Nantes, Nice and Toulouse, were flagged as “cancelled” on passenger information screens.
