Dublin Airport updates: Flights cancelled as Aer Lingus and Ryanair Ireland and UK passengers affected by strikes in France

Passengers flying with Aer Lingus and Ryanair may experience some disruption to flights across Europe tomorrow.

The airlines were forced to cancel several flights from France ahead of Thursday's strikes over President Emmanuel Macron’s planned pension reforms.

Ryanair and Aer Lingus have announced on Social Media that the strike will see a number of their services cancelled on Thursday with some Irish routes affected.

A Ryanair spokesman said: "As a result of a national strike in France, Thursday 5 December 2019, we have been forced to cancel a small number of flights."

"All affected customers have already been informed by SMS and email, advising customers of their option of a free move or refund. If you have not received an email or SMS message, then we expect your flight to operate as scheduled."

“We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience caused by this national strike. We will do everything we can to minimise your disruption, which is sadly beyond out control."

Aer Lingus also commented adding: "Due to a national strike in France, EI524 (Dublin to Paris) and EI525 (Paris to Dublin) on Thursday 05 December are cancelled. Guests whose flights are cancelled have been notified and can choose to rebook or opt for a refund."
