France asks airlines to extend flight cuts through Monday

French authorities have asked airlines to continue cutting flights through Monday amid strikes over a retirement reform law.

The country’s civil aviation authority asked airlines to reduce flights by 33% at Paris-Orly airport on Sunday and by 20% on Monday. Regional airports in Marseille and Lyon were also asked to cut flights.

Flights at Orly were already reduced by 30% on Friday and by 15% on Saturday.
