MILAN - Travellers faced disruption across Italy on Wednesday as air traffic controllers went on strike and unions also called out workers from budget airlines on four-hour stoppages, prompting the

cancellation of hundreds of flights.

Passengers across Europe have endured delays and cancellations over the past week as airlines and airports struggle to cope with a rebound in travel at the start of the summer season. "These ATC strikes are completely beyond our control and we sincerely apologise for any inconvenience they will inevitably cause," Ryanair said in a statement.

"Around 24 flights to and from the UK have been cancelled in advance to mitigate the impact on customers' plans today and provide the option to rebook before travelling to the airport,"easyJet said in a statement.
