NOVEMBER 12, 2008

PARIS (Dow Jones)--French airline Air France, which is part of the Air France-KLM company, said Wednesday it expects significant disruption to its flights due to a French pilot strike from midnight November 14 to midnight November 18.

Air France expects to cancel around 50% of its long-haul and medium-haul flights, a spokesman told Dow Jones Newswires, adding that disruption to long-haul flights may continue for longer.

Pilots in France are striking against a plan to increase the retirement age for pilots and cabin crew to 65 from 60 at present.
