Aer Lingus has warned that there will be 'significant' disruption to passengers if pilots take industrial action this summer, with thousands of holidaymakers facing travel chaos
Aer Lingus passengers could face "significant" disruption this summer due to potential industrial action, the airline's chief has warned. On Monday, pilots at Aer Lingus voted in favour of possible strikes over an ongoing pay dispute with management.
Speaking on RTE's Morning Ireland, Donal Moriarty, Chief Corporate Affairs Officer with Aer Lingus, said: "IALPA appear to be absolutely determined to inflict the disruption of industrial action on the travelling public this summer."Read more: Martin Lewis issues warning to anyone with a hotel booking this summer
"However, it will be significant. The challenge at this time of year is that all airlines are busy, not just Aer Lingus, and seeking to re-accommodate passengers on other airlines is difficult."
