PARIS — Air France says it has canceled about 20 percent of its flights because of a strike by flight attendants.
The strike is affecting mostly short- and medium-haul flights out of French airports, but 10 long-haul flights also were canceled Saturday. One out of every five flights today is expected to be canceled, the airline says.
The airline said the situation at Paris’ main airport, Charles de Gaulle, was largely normal, with most passengers on canceled flights rebooked on other airlines. At Paris’ Orly airport, about 200 passengers were waiting to be rebooked.
The strike, in protest against cuts to cabin crews, comes during an extended school holiday and at the start of a long weekend in France. The Associated Press
