Aer Lingus pilots have unanimously passed a motion of no confidence in their chief executive and chief operating officer following an incident last week that led to the suspension of a pilot.

An extraordinary general meeting of Aer Lingus members was convened on Monday evening to discuss safety concerns among pilots, following what the Irish Airline Pilots Association (Ialpa) described as an interference from senior non-flying management.
