French air traffic controllers continue their protest about proposed cuts to reduce air navigation costs.

Around 15-20% of flights have been cancelled today by various airlines including Air France, RyanAir, easyJet, and British Airways.

Some flights were delayed for 6 hours or more and Ryanair reportedly cancelled 160 flights yesterday, many at the last minute.

Passengers are advised to check their airlines website for updates before travelling to the airport, and to expect delays.
