Passengers wait at check-in counters on the first day of an Air France one-week strike at Nice International airport September 15, 2014. 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”.
