Shares in Franco-Dutch airline Air France-KLM fell more than 3 percent on Monday as pilots at the French arm of the business began a one-week strike over plans to cut costs. Air France said on its web site it expected to operate 48 percent of its flights on Monday, but “last minute disturbances are not excluded”.
