Egypt Air cancels flights as cabin crew strikes

Egypt's National airline, Egypt Air, on Friday decided to cancel all its international flights as cabin crew members staged a strike. Striking crew members are calling for the payment of their overdue bonuses as well as improving their working conditions, Egypt's news agency MENA said today. They said they have been in "unyielding" talks with Egypt air since long time ago together with the crew union in request for their demands. They said they won't end their strike until all their demands are met. Egypt Air said its domestic flights via /Air Express/ will continue to operate normally. The air carrier promised to contain the situation at an opportune time.
