Some flights at Cork Airport impacted by French air traffic control strikes

Cork Airport have confirmed that two Air France flights have been cancelled today due to the French air traffic control strike.

"Air France AF1094 and AF1095 from and to Paris Charles de Gaulle have been cancelled today due to impacts from industrial action in France," an airport spokesperson said.

"There is no other disruption to report at this time," the spokesperson added.

Meanwhile, today's strike has caused the cancellation of 300 Ryanair flights alone in Europe, impacting 50,000 passengers.

Ryanair’s CEO Michael O’Leary said: “French air traffic controllers are free to go on strike, that’s their right, but we should be cancelling French flights, not flights leaving Ireland, going to Italy, or flights from Germany to Spain or Scandinavia to Portugal. 

"The European Commission under Ursula von der Leyen has failed for 5 years to take any action to protect overflights and the single market for air travel. We’re again calling on her to take action to protect overflights which will eliminate over 90% of these flight cancellations."
