Ryanair CEO Michael O'Leary said in an update to passengers: "Today, unfortunately it looks like we're going to cancel about another 70 flights. That's a very small number out of the 3,200 that we're planning but that doesn't mean that we're not doing everything that we possibly can to minimise the disruption for our passengers and their families.
"Everyone has received email communications from us through their bookings on what your rights and entitlements are. We're looking to run a couple of additional, extra rescue flights today but it's very difficult because we're tight on crews and aircraft.
"But our teams at every airport and ehre at the ops centre are doing everything we can to minimise the delays and cancellations to flights.
"We hope by the end of today, Tuesday, that from tomorrow we'll be running a normal operation of 3,200 flights with minimal delays but please bear with us. We understand how difficult and inconvenient it is for you if you're caught in one of these flight cancellations or delays. It is sadly outside of our control."
