Travellers urged to check with airports

TRAVELLERS planing to travel through Cork Airport today have been advised to check with their carrier as ash clouds continue to play havoc with schedules.

Passengers were ferried from Cork to Dublin yesterday after their flights were diverted because of the ongoing volcanic ash alert.

Three Ryanair and two Aer Lingus flights were diverted to Cork from Frankfurt, Barcelona, Rome, Bratislava and Poznan due to the flight ban at Dublin Airport.
