Strike grounds Spanish flights

Air passengers have been advised to expect disruption on flights to and from Spain today due to strikes.

Some Ryanair flights to and from Belgium today have been reinstated after an air traffic control strike there ended earlier than expected.

But the airline says some flights remain cancelled because airplanes were out of place due to the dispute.

Ryanair is advising all passengers intending to fly to or from Belgium to check their website.

Aer Lingus has restored all of its Belgian flights today.

Both airlines are also experiencing significant disruption to flights to and from Spain due to a one day general strike.

Aer Lingus plans to operate all but 12 of its flights to Spain.

Ryanair have cancelled all internal flights in Spain today and most of their international flights.
