easyJet hit by ‘unexpected and significant costs’ from French air-traffic control strike

The boss of easyJet says striking French air-traffic controllers caused “unacceptable challenges” for passengers and crew – and landed airlines with “unexpected and significant costs”.

Kenton Jarvis, chief executive of Britain's biggest budget airline, said: “We are extremely unhappy with the strike action by the French ATC [air-traffic control] in early July.”
