Passengers were left fuming in the early hours of Saturday morning when their Ryanair flight from Dublin to Faro in Portugal landed in the wrong country.
Ryanair laid blame at the door of French air traffic controllers who are currently on strike but passengers were angry that the airline could not have foreseen the problem.
Ryanair explained that the flight took off from Dublin but missed Faro's curfew for arriving flights, believed to be 2am, "due to disruption from the French air traffic control (ATC) strike, which was entirely beyond our control."
