French air traffic strike to disrupt flights from Irish airports

Air travel between France and Dublin will be disrupted tomorrow because of a strike by French air traffic controllers.

Aer Lingus is cancelling just two flights on its Paris route - flights to other French cities are not affected.

However, Ryanair says it's been forced to cancel more than 20 flights to and from Irish airports.

In total, the airline has had to cancel over 250 flights because of the strike.

Describing the striking air traffic controllers as "selfish" - Ryanair is advising all passengers who have booked flights over French air space to check www.ryanair.com for updates.

The strike is set to continue on Thursday - with several more days of industrial action threatened.
