Is my flight cancelled? Full list of 76 Aer Lingus flights affected by strike action next week

Aer Lingus has confirmed the cancellation of 76 further flights next week.

The move comes after pilots from the Irish Air Line Pilots Association (IALPA) took industrial action over a pay dispute with Aer Lingus.

The pilots are demanding a 24% pay rise in line with inflation after rejecting an employment tribunal recommendation of 9.25% last month.

Hundreds of flights have been cancelled by Aer Lingus since the strike began, affecting tens of thousands of passengers.

Aer Lingus has since offered the pilots a 12.25% pay rise on condition that they improve their productivity, but this has been rejected by the striking pilots, who – although willing to compromise and accept a lower increase – want the pay rise without any additional promise of extra work.

According to a statement released by Aer Lingus today (Wednesday 3 July), flights will be cancelled on Monday 8 July, Tuesday 9 July and Wednesday 10 July inclusive.

According to an Aer Lingus spokesperson, this is about “protecting as many services as possible for as many of our customers as possible”.

Cancellations will be implemented today and affected customers will be contacted.

Affected services include flights from Dublin Airport and Cork Airport to Paris, Amsterdam, New York, Munich, Manchester, Berlin, Brussels, Düsseldorf, Frankfurt, London, Zurich, Geneva and Lyon.

The full list of cancelled flights is as follows:

Customers affected by these latest cancellations will have the opportunity to change their flight free of charge and will also be able to request a refund or a voucher.

These options will be communicated directly to affected customers and travel agents, while the Aer Lingus Travel Advisory page will also contain up-to-date information on all options.

Aer Lingus said it “fully understands the anxiety felt by customers given the uncertainty caused by IALPA’s industrial action and is offering affected customers as many options as possible.”
