[PARIS] French flag carrier Air France was set to scrap at least half its flights on Monday as pilots began a strike against the company's plan to develop its low-cost subsidiary.
Several passengers were stranded as the week-long strike kicked off, sparking outrage among weary travellers such as Jean-Marc Ragot, who arrived in Paris from Nairobi to find his connecting flight to the eastern French city of Lyon cancelled.
"I can't return home, thanks for the joy," he complained at Charles de Gaulle airport.
