Over forty thousand passengers were left stranded yesterday after Ryanair was forced to cancel 230 flights.

The airline said the cancellation of flights across the EU was due to yet another French air traffic control strike.

Over the weekend, over 25 per cent of Ryanair's 9,000 scheduled flights were delayed due to the disruptions.

Ryanair is now calling on the EU Commission to take action to protect EU citizens and overflights.
