The budget airline has revealed that walkouts in France have forced them to ground 400 journeys throughout Europe.

The carrier has stated that the flights are “overflights to/from Ireland, the UK, Germany, Italy and Spain”, but not France where the strikes are taking place.
With air traffic controllers required to make contact with planes flying through French airspace, it is not only flights in and out of the country that are affected.
Ryanair tweeted: “400 Ryanair flights cancelled today due to the latest French ATC strike, the vast majority of which are overflights to/from Ireland, the UK, Germany, Italy and Spain (not France).
“While we respect the right of the French ATC unions to strike, it should be French domestic flights that get cancelled, not EU overflights.”
