IRISH jetsetters have been warned of a “potential flight disruption” as industrial action kicks off.
Ireland’s national airline Aer Lingus said there is a potential impact to flight schedules due to planned industrial action in France this week.
Delays are expected on services to and from France on Wednesday July 2.
The airline says there is also risk of flight cancellations this Thursday and Friday if the strike continues.
They said: “Planned industrial action in France will cause potential disruption to flights to and from France in the coming days.
“Delays are expected to some services on Wednesday 2nd July.
“There is potential for flight cancellations to/from France on Thursday 3rd July and again on Friday 4th July, should industrial action continue.”
All impacted customers will be contacted directly with alternative travel options.
Aer Lingus is now urging passengers to check their flight status regularly for the latest updates.
Jetsetters should also review information about their departure airport to check if there is any local operational issues.
If you booked through a travel agent, online agency or another airline, flight status updates may be sent to them first.
The airline recommends staying informed to avoid unnecessary trips to the airport.
Passengers can find up-to-date details on the Aer Lingus website under flight information.
The airline added: “Any impacted customers will be contacted directly to offer alternative options.”
Meanwhile, Dublin Airport has issued a hand luggage rule reminder for thousands of passengers.
If you’re travelling through this airport this summer, there are certain rules around carrying liquids in your hand luggage you must know.
Passengers are reminded that all liquids must be in containers of 100ml or less in order to pass through security.
These containers must be removed from your bag and placed separately in the security tray when going through screening.
All liquid containers also need to fit inside a single, clear, resealable plastic bag with a capacity of no more than one litre.
The airport has taken to Facebook to remind passengers jetting off this summer.
They said: “Flying off this summer? Don’t forget: all liquids in your hand luggage must be in a container that’s 100ml or under taken out of your bag and placed in the tray when going through security screening and placed in a clear one litre plastic bag.”
