Aer Lingus announces further flight cancellations.

They announced that they would cancel an additional 120 flights on Saturday, June 29, as a direct result of the 8-hour pilot strike that day.

Aer Lingus has just announced that 244 flights will now be canceled next week following a pilot strike.

The airline says 124 flights have already been canceled due to IALPA’s “work to govern” between Wednesday and Saturday.

However, this midday they announced that they would cancel a further 120 flights on Saturday June 29, as a direct result of the 8-hour pilot strike that day.

They say 15,000 customers on Aer Lingus’ short-haul services will be affected, while long-haul services on the 28th and 29th will be rescheduled to avoid further cancellations on these routes.

Aer Lingus automatically rebooks some customers onto alternative flights and has started sending emails to all other customers, notifying them of cancellations and informing them of their options.

Details of flights canceled on June 29 are available in the support section of the Aer Lingus website at aerlingus.com.
