On Monday, 52% of Air France-KLM ?s flights were cancelled as the result of a pilots strike over potential wage losses. The airline recently announced a plan to move its crew to a low-cost holding company called Transavia. The pilots? strike, which will affect 85,000 travelers today, may continue through Friday if the pilots? demands are not met.
