Ryanair passengers face more chaos over French air dispute

The travel chaos caused by the French air traffic controllers strike is set worsen further today, with Ryanair predicting it will have to cancel the flights of thousands more of its Irish passengers.

Eighteen flights to and from Dublin airport are to be cancelled, as are six flights to and from Cork and two in and out of Shannon.
