Breaking news: Aer Lingus faces cancellations affecting 40,000 passengers due to pilot action. Details inside!
Aer Lingus passengers are facing chaos as the airline has announced the cancellation of up to 20% of its flights over a five-day period. The Irish Airline Pilots' Association's industrial action, deemed 'insidious' by the airline, is set to severely disrupt travel plans for thousands of passengers. With 124 flights being cancelled over the next five days, up to 40,000 passengers are expected to be impacted.
Aer Lingus has started reaching out to affected passengers to provide them with information about the flight cancellations caused by the ongoing pilot action. The airline is working to mitigate the disruptions caused by the cancellations and is aiming to assist passengers in rescheduling their travel plans. As uncertainty looms, passengers are eagerly awaiting updates on whether their flights will be affected.
Despite the chaos, there is a silver lining for some Aer Lingus passengers. A list of 58 flights that will not be affected by the strike has been released, offering some relief to travelers amidst the turmoil. However, with 44 flights per day set to be axed next week, the overall impact is expected to be significant.
In a surprising turn of events, the airline revealed that the pilot action could lead to the cancellation of between 10% and 20% of flights in the initial days of the strike. This unprecedented move has raised concerns among passengers and highlighted the challenges faced by the airline industry during times of labor disputes.
The action has been branded as 'insidious' by the airline, which is cancelling up to 20 per cent of flights over a five-day period.
