Several UK airlines have warned passengers of major disruption to flights as a result of a strike by Italian air traffic controllers.
Ryanair says it has been forced to cancel 96 flights to and from Italy. They include a number of flights serving UK airports.
EasyJet has had to axe a further 60 flights, including 20 in and out of the UK.
British Airways has also had to re-schedule a number of flights.
One re-timed flight, a service from Naples to Gatwick, left at 1.30pm UK time instead of 10.30am UK time.
The four-hour strike is scheduled to last from 11.30am to 3.30pm UK time.
However it is expected to cause delays throughout the day, with more cancellations likely.
Ryanair spokesman Robin Kiely said: "We sincerely apologise to all passengers who have had their travel plans disrupted by these unjustified ATC (Air Traffic Controllers) strikes."
