A pilots' strike in New Caledonia is entering it second week with no end in sight.

Air Calin's schedule has been disrupted every day, with today's Wallis flights being cancelled.

There have been several rounds of negotiations without tangible progress.

The pilots say they are not seeking a pay rise but want to have cover for some of their insurance costs.
