Italian strike forces cancellation of Aer Lingus flights

Aer Lingus has cancelled two flights between Dublin and Milan today because of a strike by air traffic controllers in Italy.

The 7.25am Dublin to Milan-Linate flight and the return flight at 11.45am have both been grounded as a result of the industrial action.

Passengers have been re-booked on the 5.10pm flight this evening from Dublin to Milan-Malpensa and the return flight at 9.40pm.

Aer Lingus has also rescheduled its morning flight to Rome to take off later this afternoon.
