Ryanair, Aer Lingus and Dublin Airport have all released statements on the situation.

Due to strike action in France, around 100 flights will have to be cancelled this weekend across Europe.

A 48-hour strike will begin just before 6am on Saturday morning and will remain in place until just before 6am on Monday morning.

Those flights to France, or that will occupy French airspace during the travel route, should expect heavy delays over the weekend, too.

Ryanair statement:

Due to yet another unjustified French ATC strike this weekend, Ryanair regrets to inform customers that it has been forced to cancel a number of flights. All affected customers will be contacted by email and text message and advised of their options.

Aer Lingus’s statement:

Please be advised of flight disruptions this weekend due to French Air Traffic Controller Strike. Guests planning to travel this weekend are advised to check the status of their flight before departing for the airport. If your flight has been cancelled, affected guests can opt to be accommodated on the next available flight, rebook their flight free of charge, or cancel and apply for a refund.
