A strike by Air France pilots is threatening to disrupt travel for hundreds of thousands of football fans, Al Jazeera informs.
Air France said it was cancelling flights on Saturday after 25 percent of the national carrier's pilots went on strike.
"Air France regrets this situation and is making every effort to minimise the inconvenience this strike action may cause to its customers." the airline said in a statement on Friday, adding that it expected to operate 80 percent of its flights schedule.
