90,000 Irish Air Passengers Affected By French Strikes
A two-day strike by French air traffic controllers affected some 90,000 Ryanair passengers, the Irish Times have reported.
It is understood to be the biggest disruption to flights since the Icelandic volcanic ash cloud in 2010.
Some of the delays caused by the strike, which ended last night, are expected to continue today as air traffic controllers in other countries protest in support of the French workers, according to the Irish Times.
