Most flights on schedule as strike called off

AMID an uneasy and highly fragile peace between Aer Lingus and its pilots, nearly all Aer Lingus flights into and out of Ireland will go ahead today.

The 48-hour strike by 480 pilots was due to ground all the airline’s aircraft today and tomorrow, but was called off yesterday after the company agreed to meet with the Irish Airline Pilots’ Association at the Labour Relations Commission last night.

However, the basis of the difficulties still remains.
