Ryanair has cancelled 170 flights, impacting 30,000 passengers as a result of a French air traffic control strike. The cancellations affect flights from the UK to France and overflights to Ireland, Greece, and Spain. Ryanair's chief executive, Michael O'Leary, has urged European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen to take urgent action. He criticized the strike, stating it is unfair to EU passengers and emphasized the need for better staffing of French ATC to prevent such disruptions. O'Leary believes that implementing two specific reforms could significantly reduce ATC-related delays and cancellations.
