Passengers travelling to and from France are being warend of “extensive delays” today as air traffic controllers join a nationwide strike.

The strike by public sector workers began yesterday and is due to run until tomorrow (Friday).

EasyJet said it would announce any cancellations on its website and advised customers to use its new flight tracker tool to check the status of their flight.

Meanwhile, flights to and from Italy are due to be impacted by a 24-hour cabin crew strike by a non-recognised union on Saturday (May 16).
