French travel chaos continues
Travellers in France are facing another day of severe disruption as protests continue to hit air, road and rail links.
Street protests have been planned in a number of cities and disruption is also expected on public transport.
The protests are linked to the French government’s aim to raise the retirement age from 60 to 62 and the full state pension age from 65 to 67.
All flights to and from Paris’s Orly airport and one in three flights at other airports are being cancelled today, according to aviation officials.
Airport operator ADP said there were delays at the capital’s largest airport, Charles De Gaulle, on Monday because of strikes by oil workers.
Rail traffic was being disrupted with one in two fast TGV trains running, and one in three normal-speed trains running.
Although the Eurostar train service between Paris and London is normal, there was no Eurostar service between Brussels and London on Monday due to a strike in Belgium.
The civil aviation authority is warning airlines operating at Charles de Gaulle to arrive with enough fuel to make the return journeys.
On the road, petrol stations were running out of fuel for motorists.
