Cabin crew strike costs Air France 90 mln euros
A week-long strike of cabin crew would cost France's flagship carrier Air France 90 million euros (100.74 million U.S. dollars), the airline's chief executive Frederic Gagey said on Tuesday.
"It's a very large sum equivalent of the value of a long-haul aircraft," Gagey told France info radio.
According to Gagey, the strike has affected around 180,000 people.
SNPNC-FO and Unsa-PNC, two airline unions, called for a strike from July 27 to August 2.
On Tuesday, 90 percent of the airline's flights are running, including all its long-haul flights and 85 percent of its short and medium-haul flights from Paris Charles de Gaulle airport.
