Cork Airport to be hit by more flight delays tonight

Airline passengers are being warned of delays at Cork Airport again today to the ongoing overtime ban by air traffic controllers.

The airport says it will be unable to operate flights between 8pm tonight and 8am tomorrow morning.

Passengers are being warned to expect delays to incoming and outgoing flights.

The air traffic controllers are refusing to work overtime in protest at what they say are chronic staff shortages.

They have also announced plans to mount a 24-hour strike next Thursday if their concerns are not addressed.
