Aer Lingus axe 80 MORE flights in blow for Irish holidaymakers

AER Lingus bosses have axed another 80 flights amid the continuing strike action by pilots.

The flights impacted in the latest bout of cancellations are set to be those due to fly out between next Thursday and Sunday, July 11 to 14.

This comes after another 76 flights were cancelled on Tuesday, bringing the total to almost 500.

The Ialpa told its members that they will not go forward with ramping up their work-to-rule strike in the ongoing dispute.

Despite the court expected to issue the recommendation with urgency, Ialpa members guaranteed that no further industrial action besides the current work-to-rule will be announced.

If the Labour Court’s proposal is rejected, they would need to seek sanction for any new industrial action from parent union Fórsa’s disputes committee. This will be coming in the coming few days.

Almost 500 flights have been cancelled so far as a result of the dispute, where pilots are demanding a pay increase of up to 24 per cent.

A statement from Aer Lingus said: “In order to continue to protect as many services as possible from the continuing and highly disruptive impact of IALPA’s continuing industrial action, Aer Lingus has had to take the step of cancelling 80 additional flights over the course of Thursday 11th July to Sunday 14th July (inclusive).

“Implementing these cancellations is to enable us to protect as many services as possible for as many of our customers as possible.

“These cancellations will be implemented today, and details will be communicated to impacted customers. Details of the services impacted are set out on the ‘Travel Advisory’ page of aerlingus.com.

“Customers impacted by these latest cancellations between 11th July and 14th July will be given the option to change their flights for free. They will also be able to claim a refund or voucher.

“These options will be communicated directly to impacted customers as well as travel agents, while the Aer Lingus ‘Travel Advisory’ page will also have up to the minute information on all the options.

“Aer Lingus fully understands the anxiety being experienced by customers given the uncertainty caused by IALPA’s industrial action and is giving impacted customers as many options as possible.”
