Around 20-thousand passengers have been stranded following a strike by staff of Taiwan's China
Airlines.
The strike has forced the airline to cancel all flights out of the two main airports in
Taipei.
Hundreds of flight attendants staged a sit-in throughout the night Friday outside the firm's
headquarters.
They are protesting a new requirement that they work on the outskirts of Taipei, rather
than downtown.
Organizers of the strike say it pressures flight attendants to work more overtime and
will affect flight safety.
Crowds of passengers have been building up at Taipei's two main airports as the airline
scrambles to get them on other flights.
