Aer Lingus dispute escalates: Pilots plan strike as airline gives details of cancelled flights

Aer Lingus dispute escalates: Pilots plan strike as airline gives details of cancelled flightsPilots responded by announcing an all-out stoppage for eight hours from 5am to 1pm on Saturday, June 29th after accusing the company of escalating their dispute over pay. This is in addition to the previously announced strict work to rule from Wednesday of next week.

“The insidious and indefinite form of Ialpa’s industrial action is designed to severely disrupt passengers in the peak of the summer season. Without these cancellations, the impact would be a lot worse for customers,” the statement said. Aer Lingus will also contact travel agents and it advised anyone who booked flights through a third party to contact those businesses.

“We want to emphasise that this is to protect as many of our services as possible,” Mr Moriarty said. Where flights are cancelled within 14 days, EU rules require airlines to pay each passenger compensation ranging from €250 for short-haul flights to €600 for long-haul trips, along with offering them fare refunds or alternative flights.
