Ryanair could cancel up to 600 flights a day next week due to French air traffic control (ATC) strikes, the airline has claimed.

The company’s chief executive, Michael O’Leary, has reiterated demands to the EU to protect overflights in a long-running campaign to minimise the disruption from ATC strikes.
