INDIA-AIR-STRIKE  >>Strike<< disrupts Indian domestic flights


BOMBAY, April 11 (Reuter) - A nationwide >>strike<< by air  traffic
controllers disrupted domestic flights on Friday, an  official of the
Airports Authority of India said.

He said the >>strike<< began before noon.

He said international flights have been largely unaffected  so far, noting
most international flights take off at night.

`The >>strike<< is continuing. Flights have been disrupted  badly,'' said a
spokesman for state-run Indian Airlines.

Air traffic controllers were not immediately available for  comment.

The Press Trust of India news agency said the >>strike<< was to  protest
against the suspension of an air traffic controller in  New Delhi airport.
