More flight delays in airport dispute

MORE flights out of Cork Airport face delay today as the dispute between air traffic controllers and the Irish Aviation Authority (IAA) continued.

The IAA said it had to restrict traffic movements between 8.30am and 6pm for safety reasons because a worker had rung in sick and the other controllers refused to work overtime to cover the shift.

Neither the airport nor the IAA could confirm exactly how many of the flights into or out of Cork during the relevant hours would be affected.
