Dublin Airport has warned that flights between Ireland and the US could be affected this morning with delays and a small number of cancellations.

It comes as the US Federal Aviation Administration lifted a nationwide grounding of flights after a communications failure at air traffic control centres caused chaos at US airports.

The ground stop triggered the longest US flight shutdown since the 11 September 2001 attacks.

US airspace reopened at 1.15am Irish time but US Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy warned that departures would resume gradually and it would take time for airlines to restore normal operations.

Irish passengers are being advised to contact their airline directly for the latest updates.

Two incoming flights from Chicago and New York were cancelled this morning.

Outbound flights to Chicago and New York were also cancelled this morning.

Flights from New York, Dallas, Atlanta and Minneapolis were among those experiencing delays.

Dublin Airport said it will work closely with airlines to help impacted passengers.
