Aer Lingus pilots to begin industrial action next week in pay dispute

June 4th 2024
The Irish Airline Pilots’ Association (IALPA) has issued seven days’ notice to Aer Lingus management informing them that pilots will begin industrial action at a minute past midnight (00:01hrs) on Wednesday 26th June.

The work to rule will last indefinitely.

IALPA President Captain Mark Tighe said: “We are now at a point where this dispute has escalated to indefinite industrial action by pilots.

“We are in this position because management have failed to provide us with a meaningful offer on pay that accounts for inflation and the sacrifices made by pilots to save Aer Lingus during the pandemic.”
