At Lisbon airport, 23 flights that were scheduled to arrive today and that originated in various French cities have been marked as "cancelled", in addition to 25 more flights that were supposed to depart from the Portuguese capital to France.
At Francisco Sá Carneiro Airport in Porto, 15 arrivals from France and 14 departures to that country have been cancelled.
As for Faro airport, it has recorded a dozen cancelled flights: five originating in French cities and another five that were supposed to depart for France.
The flights in question are operated by various airlines, namely Ryanair, Transavia, Volotea, Vueling, Air France, TAP and EasyJet.
Thousands of flights have been cancelled today at French airports and hundreds of planes have been grounded due to the air traffic controllers' strike.
According to the French news agency AFP, the cancellations have mainly affected short and medium-haul flights.
Around 2,300 flights are scheduled to depart or arrive at French airports today, compared to almost 5,200 on Wednesday, according to the dashboard of the Directorate General for Civil Aviation (DGAC) consulted by AFP.
In Europe, more than 2,000 flights have been cancelled and 1,000 are at risk of being diverted to avoid French airspace, according to the Airlines for Europe airline association.
In order to adapt traffic to the available staff, French civil aviation has asked companies to cancel three out of every four flights departing or arriving at Paris-Orly, the second-largest French airport; 55% at Roissy-Charles-de-Gaulle, the largest; 65% at Marseille-Provence (in the south) and 45% at all other platforms in metropolitan France.
Most long-haul flights have, however, escaped cancellation, with the DGAC's request only applying to planes making "three or more movements" during the day.
