Two French unions are staging the two-day strike over working conditions.
Ryanair has said it has cancelled 170 flights due to the strike action across Thursday and Friday, disrupting more than 30,000 passengers.
The Irish airline has said the disruption will mostly affect flights over French airspace en route to their destination, including those from Spain to Ireland and the UK to Greece, alongside flights to and from France.
Daa spokesperson Graeme McQueen said the flights included eight departures and eight arrivals.
“As it stands, no cancellations have been confirmed for flights in and out of Cork Airport today,” he said.
EasyJet has confirmed no flights to or from Northern Ireland have been impacted by the strikes. The airline does not operate in the Republic of Ireland.
The disruption comes at the start of the European summer holiday season – one of the busiest travel periods of the year.
