Aer Lingus 'in dialogue' with State over further loans to boost liquidity 

Earlier this year, the airline borrowed €150m from the Ireland Strategic Investment Fund and said it would be 'appropriate' to borrow more

In the year to date, Aer Lingus has racked up losses of more than €270m, but is finally eyeing some level of recovery.

Aer Lingus is in talks with the Government over potentially tapping more State loans to boost its liquidity.

The airline’s chief executive Lynne Embleton said Aer Lingus is “in dialogue” with the State-backed Ireland Strategic Investment Fund (ISIF) and is reviewing its liquidity levels with owner IAG.
