Further strikes disrupted air travel in France on Thursday but the broader protest over plans to raise the retirement age appeared to be waning a day after parliament adopted pension reform legislation.
Flights in and out of French airports were reduced by 30 to 50 percent due to a one-day stoppage by air traffic controllers, and a rolling strike by rail workers halved some services but caused less disruption than previously.
Thursday marked the seventh day of protests called by the unions over the plans to make people work two years longer for a pension.
