Air France, hobbled by a strike involving more than a quarter of its pilots, said about 80 per cent of its flights would operate on Sunday and Monday. Air France-KLM Group’s French arm will honour 83 per cent of its scheduled long-haul flights, on some of which it uses its A380 superjumbos, and 86 percent of its domestic ones on Sunday, the company said.
