SOME AER LINGUS travellers will find out today whether their flights have been cancelled.
It comes as pilots, members of the IALPA union, announced plans for industrial action in a dispute over pay, with Aer Lingus taking the step to cancel between 10% and 20% of its flights on the first five days of industrial action (which spans Wednesday 26 to Sunday 30 June).
IALPA members are seeking a pay rise of 23.8% over three years, which would be similar to what British Airways – a sister airline of Aer Lingus – awarded pilots in 2019.
The union says the increase is “clearly reasonable and affordable for a profitable company such as Aer Lingus.”
It noted that in 2023, Aer Lingus had a full year operating profit of €225 million.
So today we’re asking: Do you support Aer Lingus pilots’ industrial action?
