Ryanair, easyJet and British Airways strikes affecting Irish flights this weekend

Planned strikes at major airlines threaten to cause travel chaos for Irish holidaymakers this weekend, as staff at Ryanair and easyJet in Spain are taking industrial action over pay.

Meanwhile, British Airways staff at Heathrow airport have voted to strike which will also affect several Irish flights. EasyJet crews in Spain will strike for nine days in July, while Ryanair staff are doing a three day walk-out from June 30 to July 2.

Holidaymakers will be informed if their flights are cancelled this weekend, although last week's strike affected "less than 2 per cent of 9,000 flights" according to Ryanair.
