Due to a reported sick absence by an air traffic controller and the unwillingness of other controllers to cover this absence, there will be no air traffic services at Cork Airport between midnight tonight and 08:00 on Saturday 16 February. It is expected that one aircraft, which is scheduled to arrive after midnight tonight and five early morning departures, will be affected.

The Irish Aviation Authority regrets the inconvenience to the travelling public. Intending passengers are advised to contact their airline for further information.

Further talks are scheduled to take place on 19 February between the Authority and IMPACT, the controllers' union, in an attempt to find a resolution to this ongoing dispute.
