PARIS (Reuters) - Shares in Air France fell as much as 3 percent on Monday as pilots began a one-week strike over company plans to cut costs to recapture market share from budget airlines.

Europe's second-largest traditional carrier by revenue said on its web site it expected to operate 48 percent of its flights on Monday, but "last minute disturbances are not excluded".
