PARIS, Jan 17 — France's DGAC aviation regulator has asked airlines to cancel around one in five flights to and from Paris' Orly airport on Thursday in anticipation of planned nationwide strikes in protest against government pensions reform, a spokesperson told Reuters today.

The airport south of Paris, the city's second-largest, at this stage is the only one in the country where the strikes could lead to disruptions, the spokesperson added. — Reuters
