Aer Lingus Set to Cancel Hundreds of Flights
Aer Lingus said most affected passengers will be rebooked on same-day services as it cuts about 2% of its summer schedule.
- Aer Lingus will cancel or reschedule approximately 2 per cent of its summer flights, citing 'mandatory maintenance' on aircraft and affecting more than 500 services across its network.
- Disruptions impact Irish hubs including Dublin, Shannon, and Cork airports, while transatlantic routes to Seattle, San Francisco, Minneapolis-St Paul, and Toronto also face cancellation.
- The International Energy Agency warned on Thursday that Europe has 'maybe six weeks of jet fuel left' following the continued blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.
- IALPA president Mark Tighe attributed the cancellations to a pilot shortage, noting the company was unable to grant contractually entitled annual leave this year.
- Where schedule adjustments occur, the airline said the 'vast majority' of customers are being re-accommodated on same-day services, with travel agents working to minimize disruption.
