Ryanair has been forced to cancel 400 flights as a result of strikes by French air traffic controllers, the airline’s boss has said, as he urged the European Union to “take action”.
The mass cancellations across Europe on Tuesday – representing one in eight flights scheduled by the continent’s largest airline – are merely the latest to be grounded by industrial action, with walkouts at airports blamed by Ryanair for more than 4,000 cancellations this year so far.
