Tens of thousands of passengers have been hit by a French air traffic control strike that has cancelled flights in France on Thursday and Friday and had a knock-on effect elsewhere in Europe.
Budget airline Ryanair said it had been forced to cancel more than 170 flights and the holiday plans of more than 30,000 passengers had been disrupted.
Two French unions were staging the two-day strike over working conditions, leading to a quarter of flights being cancelled at the main airports in Paris and half of flights at Nice airport.
French Transport Minister Philippe Tabarot condemned as unacceptable both the unions’ demands and their decision to go on strike at such an important time for people going on holiday.

The Fr*nch and strikes. Name a more iconic duo.
For those affected, ryanair will fight tooth and nail to not give you a cent if the strikes affect you on your way back home. Next to filing an eu261 compensation form via the ryanair website, you can file a claim with the european consumer center, which will vastly expedite the process [ECC LINK](https://commission.europa.eu/live-work-travel-eu/consumer-rights-and-complaints/resolve-your-consumer-complaint/european-consumer-centres-network-ecc-net_en)
Guess their ‘Fly-or-no-pay’ policy has really taken off
Who stroked whom?
