15:38 NEWS: Air traffic controllers in Cork set to strike from midnight
14/02/2008
Early-morning air passengers face disruption tomorrow as Irish air traffic controllers stage an overtime ban.
No flights will be permitted to land or take off from Cork Airport - the Irish Aviation Authority (IAA) confirmed today that no aircraft could use the airport between midnight tonight and 8am.
"We expect the early morning services to be disrupted," added the spokeswoman.
Irish air traffic controllers issued a two-week strike notice to management on Tuesday, after 99% of controllers voted in favour of industrial action.
The members of the IMPACT trade union claim there has been a recruitment ban for the last six years.
