Any idea if this will affect air traffic control? I have two friends staying who are due to fly back to the UK on Tuesday evening.

No mention of air traffic controllers at all (yet?), Warwick.

I'm keeping a very close eye on it - I have 10 tourists arriving and 15 departing on that date

Will post an update if I hear anything.
