A significant number of flights out of Dublin, Cork and Shannon airports will be cancelled on Wednesday due to a strike by air traffic controllers, the Irish Aviation Authority (IAA) has said.

Aer Linus has cancelled 64 flights for today, affecting 7,000 passengers, while Ryanair cancelled 48 flights, affecting 6,000 passengers.

The dispute arose following the suspension of up to 15 air traffic controllers by the IAA for refusing to co-operate with new technology.

The industrial action will involve work stoppages between 1400 and 1800 GMT, the IAA said.
