Aer Lingus says coronavirus safety a ‘top priority’ after busy flight criticism

The airline is to conduct a review of its Belfast to London Heathrow service after acknowledging ‘unexpectedly high loads’ on a Monday morning flight.

Aer Lingus is to conduct a review after pictures emerged of an almost full flight with no apparent evidence of social distancing measures.

The airline said any process changes required would be implemented as a “matter of urgency”.
