Ryanair has suspended all of its flights to and from Italy, including those that operate at Dublin Airport.
The Dublin airline made the announcement today following the decision from the Italian Government to lock down the country in an attempt to slow down the COVID-19 virus.
It operates a number of routes between Dublin Airport and Italian airports, including flights to popular destinations Milan, Rome, Naples and Verona.
Flight cuts will be implemented until at least April 8 and will affect routes that operate within Italian borders and throughout Europe.
A spokesman said: "All affected passengers have received email notices today informing them of these flight cancellations.
"Passengers looking for repatriation can obtain a free move to an earlier Ryanair flight operating up until midnight Fri 13 Mar.
"Affected passengers will be able to choose between a full refund or a travel credit that can be redeemed on Ryanair flights in the next 12 months.
They continued: "Ryanair continues to comply fully with WHO and national Government guidance and travel bans.
"The situation is changing on a daily basis, and all passengers on flights affected by travel bans or cancellations, are receiving emails and are being offered flight transfers, full refunds or travel credits.
"Ryanair apologises sincerely to all customers for these schedule disruptions, which are caused by national Government restrictions and the latest decision of the Italian Government to lock down the entire country to combat the Covid-19 virus."
