Scots holidaymakers flying to France from Glasgow and Edinburgh Airport face travel chaos after airlines axe flights amid an ongoing air traffic control strike.<\/p>\n
Easyjet have scrapped a raft of flights today from Scotland’s largest airports after RyanAir was forced to cancel 170 flights across the UK to France yesterday.<\/p>\n

Scheduled arrivals at 2.10pm and 10.35pm from Paris were also cancelled.<\/p>\n AirFrance also axed routes from Paris to Edinburgh, cancelling both 4.35pm and the 5.35pm flights.<\/p>\n EasyJet<\/a> has apologised to those affected by the cancelled flights but say “it is outside of our control and is considered to be an extraordinary circumstance.”<\/p>\n On the easyJet website, a statement reads: “We\u2019re sorry that your flight has been cancelled<\/a>. This is due to an industrial action affecting air traffic control staff in France.<\/p>\n “We understand that this will be disappointing<\/a> news and we want to make it as easy as possible for you to make new plans.”<\/p>\n “We understand that this will be disappointing<\/a> news and we want to make it as easy as possible for you to make new plans.”<\/p>\n Passengers affected can either select a new flight for free, request an easyJet voucher for the full face value of your ticket or request a refund<\/a>, which will be issued within seven days.<\/p>\n Yesterday Ryanair was forced to cancel flights from Edinburgh to Biarritz, Paris and Toulouse.<\/p>\n The French civil aviation agency DGAC asked several airlines yesterday to reduce the number of flights at airports <\/a>in Paris by 40% during the industrial action.<\/p>\n Get the latest news sent straight to your messages by joining our WhatsApp community today.<\/p>\n You’ll receive daily updates on breaking news as well as the top headlines across Scotland.<\/p>\n No one will be able to see who is signed up and no one can send messages except the Daily Record team.<\/p>\n All you have to do is click here if you’re on mobile<\/strong><\/a>, select ‘Join Community’ and you’re in!<\/p>\n If you’re on a desktop, simply scan the QR code above with your phone and click ‘Join Community’.<\/p>\n We also treat our community members to special offers, promotions, and adverts from us and our partners.
