Air France remains on strike

French travellers were facing a weekend of travel disruption, as pilots at Air France announced Friday they were extending their strike until next Friday, their longest since 1998.
The company said it will have to scrap 55 percent of its flights on Saturday, when pilots' unions will also announce whether the strike will continue into a second week.
According to French daily Le Figaro, the pilots voted on Friday to carry on their strike for another week, which means it will last until at least September 26.
