MORE than half of flights in France are not running today in day two of an air traffic controllers strike that is due to end tonight.

Montpellier was one of the worst-affected airports yesterday, with 78% of flights there not operating.
Ryanair has cancelled 254 flights today. Easyjet says there will continue to be "significant impact to our flights" today. Their Flight Tracker page can be found here.
