A French air traffic controllers' strike forced cancellation yesterday of some flights in and out of Orly, Paris's second airport.
France's civil aviation authority (DGAC) said one in two flights was cancelled at Orly, south of Paris.
There had also been some delays to flights at the larger Charles de Gaulle airport at Roissy, north of the capital, which is home to Air France.
Both airports are owned and operated by Aeroports de Paris.
The CGT union was protesting at plans to move Orly controllers to Roissy before regrouping them all on one site near Paris in 2015. The CGT last week foresaw industrial action continuing up to next Friday with up to 50 percent of flights being cancelled at Orly and lesser disruptions at Roissy.
The strike is the latest in a series of industrial actions to hit Paris air traffic.
