France warns of massive travel disruptions ahead of strike![]() June 10, 2013 - 18:35 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - France's main airports are asking airlines to halve their number of flights ahead of three days of strikes by air traffic controllers that begin on Tuesday, June 11 in France and will spread throughout Europe on Wednesday, according to Belfast Telegraph. Both Paris airports warned of massive travel disruptions this week as air traffic controllers protest plans to centralise control of Europe's airspace. The strikes coincide with a speech in Strasbourg by the EU's commissioner for transportation, who is asking to speed up the plan as inefficiencies in Europe's airspace costs airlines and customers 5 billion euros (£4.25 billion) annually. Azerbaijani authorities report that they have already resettled 3,000 people in the Nagorno-Karabakh town of Stepanakert. On June 10, Azerbaijani President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev will leave for Turkey on a working visit. Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev arrived in Moscow on April 22 to hold talks with Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin. Authorities said a total of 192 Azerbaijani troops were killed and 511 were wounded during Azerbaijan’s offensive. Partner news |
