Approximately 80,000 Ryanair passengers will have their travel plans ruined tomorrow as Air Traffic Control workers in France prepare to go on strike.
The airline has scrapped 420 flights tomorrow, September 16, due to the "all-out one-day strike" and is calling on the EU to intervene. The cancelled flights will mainly affect routes between Ireland, Spain, Italy and Germany, which require flying through French airspace.
Several flights from Dublin Airport have been cancelled tomorrow as a result of the disruption. Ryanair said in a statement: "Ryanair regrets that it is forced to cancel 420 flights (disrupting 80,000 passengers) mainly overflying France on Fri (16 Sept) as a result of this unjustified French ATC strike, which achieve nothing but disrupt thousands of European citizens/visitors’ weekend travel plans.
