Air travel plans face chaos in two days of strikes

The travel plans of thousands of Aer Lingus passengers face further disruption this month after the union representing cabin crews announced two more days of strike action.

The 24-hour strikes planned for Monday and Wednesday, June 16 and 18, are almost certain to bring all the airline’s services in and out of the country to a halt, maximising disruption at the start of the holiday season.

The decision last night by Impact to serve further strike notice on Aer Lingus followed the “collapse” of talks with management about cabin crew rosters after three days of talks.
