French strike hits flights

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

Aer Lingus is cancelling just two flights on its Paris route, and says 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.

Ryanair is advising all passengers who have booked flights over French air space to check ryanair.com for updates.
