Aer Lingus pilots have served notice on the airline of their intention to go on indefinite work-to-rule from Wednesday, June 26.

It’s understood that the widely expected move was made late on Tuesday afternoon, and gives Aer Lingus one day more than the statutory minimum to prepare a contingency plan.
