A French air-traffic controllers' strike has disrupted the schedule of 5,000 flights and forced airlines to cancel 550 flights at several airports in cities including Bordeaux, Lyon, Marseille and Toulouse, The Independent reported. The controllers went on strike on May 8 as part of a day of industrial action against the government's plans to reform the public sector and will resume on May 10. The strike is expected to cost airlines including U.K.-based easyJet P.L.C. and Ireland-based Ryanair Holdings P.L.C. millions of pounds.
