Tourism providers are warning of the impact that Aer Lingus flight disruption is having on the holiday industry here since the announcement of flight cancellations.

It comes after the airline confirmed that at least 244 flights have been cancelled for next week from Wednesday to Sunday due to industrial action being taken by the Irish Airline Pilots' Association.

He said they have already received over €10,000 worth of cancellations from overseas bookings at the hotel and he is worried that this will rise in the coming days."I think it isn't until travel agents arrive into their offices tomorrow in America and start to see the effects. So, I don't think we will see the full effects until tomorrow," he said.

He said as well as bookings that have already been made that are under threat, it may also impact how people will book for late summer and into autumn. Golfing across the island is a major attraction and it is big business but those working in this sector are already receiving cancellations. Carrie-Ann Corbett, who lives in London, had her tickets to see Taylor Swift eleven months ago and while her flight is not cancelled, she has"done everything possible" to ensure she does not miss the concert.
