Ryanair Holdings Plc’s main gateway to Paris descended into chaos on Thursday because of a strike by air-traffic controllers, forcing Europe’s largest low-cost carrier to cancel all flights at Paris-Beauvais airport.
The Irish airline scrapped about 130 flights, according to a spokesperson. All other flights at the airport were called off as well. Budget carriers EasyJet Plc and Wizz Air Holdings Plc also operate at Paris-Beauvais, located about 105 kilometers north of the French capital.
