Aer Lingus reveals full list of cancellations as pilots say ‘we're willing to talk’

While the action is limited to Aer Lingus pilots employed in Ireland, there are knock-on effects for the airline’s operations in the UK, Europe and North America.

Aer Lingus on Sunday posted a full list of cancellations for the first five days of the action over 26-30 June, running to 221 flights, around half of which (111) are flights departing Ireland.

It has also cancelled 34 flights departing the UK – all flights to Ireland – as well as 71 departing Europe and five departing North America.

Aer Lingus’s transatlantic schedule out of Manchester is not directly affected by the action, and nor is its Aer Lingus Regional operation operated by Emerald Airlines.

The majority of cancellations – more than half (116) – fall on Saturday (29 June). In the UK, select flights departing Heathrow, Birmingham and Manchester are affected by the action.

Customers with impacted flights will be contacted directly by email and/or text message. Those who booked through travel agents will be alerted by their agent.

Aer Lingus has apologised for the likely disruption. "We fully understand the anxiety being experienced by customers given the uncertainty this has caused," it said.

"We are providing all customers with bookings within these dates the option to change flights, or request refunds or vouchers. We are also adding additional resources to help minimise any disruption."
