Cannes Film Festival off to a rough start with taxi-driver strike at airport

Arriving Cannes Film Festival attendees were greeted on Tuesday by a taxi-driver strike at the Nice airport.

“Taxis parked in entry ways to block traffic, so Ubers and buses couldn’t get through,” said a source.

“People were walking long distances to get outside the airport and try and get a ride.”

One woman told us she’d been trying for three hours to get out.

“Cops were there but didn’t seem to be doing anything,” a film pro reported, and we hear at least one big-time studio exec was caught in the morass.

According to reports, the drivers’ union could stage another airport blockade Friday.
