This could affect some fans going to and from France.

Fans are facing a second series of travel disruptions as another strike is set to affect air travel in and out of France.

France Air Traffic Controllers are going on strike today and this means that both Aer Lingus and Ryanair have had to cancel a number of flights.

Ryanair have been forced to cancel a total of 44 flights to and from France and also flights that require entry into French airspace.

Aer Lingus have also cancelled eight flights today.

EI508     Dublin to Bordeaux
EI509     Bordeaux to Dublin
EI544     Dublin to Nice
EI545     Nice to Dublin
EI562     Dublin to Barcelona
EI563     Barcelona to Dublin
EI552     Dublin to Lyons
EI553     Lyon to Dublin

Passengers are urged to check their airlines website for further details on flights and information on refunds or re-routing.

This is the second strike involving the airline sector in France in a week, just a few days ago, Air France pilots went on strike causing a number of flights to be cancelled.

The strikes are expected to be finished by Tuesday evening and we hope that not too many fans are affected by the disruption.
