Aer Lingus is to cancel another 80 flights, later this week and across next weekend, as the fallout from the ongoing pilot pay dispute at the airline continues ahead of a new Labour Court resolution recommendation.
The fresh cancellations – from July 11 to July 14 (Thursday to Sunday) – follow on from 76 cancelled flights announced midway through last week. Aer Lingus has cancelled nearly 550 flights since Irish Airline Pilots Association (IALPA) trade union-affiliated pilots, at the airline, started industrial action last month over pay conditions.
A Labour Court recommendation on the dispute is due imminently, following a meeting of all sides last Wednesday.
