Aer Lingus has confirmed 76 additional flights have been cancelled as a dispute between the airline and pilots rolls on.
The latest cancellations will impact flights which had been scheduled to fly on Monday, July 8th, through to Wednesday, July 10th.
It comes as the airline and the Irish Air Line Pilots Association (Ialpa) are due to attend the Labour Court for a formal meeting on Wednesday as part of ongoing efforts to resolve the dispute.
Pilots at the airline have sought a 24 per cent pay increase, which they say is in line with the rate of inflation since their last pay rise in 2019.
The union's members began a work-to-rule action on June 26th, which remains ongoing, and an eight-hour strike was staged on Saturday.
The industrial action has results in a series of cancellations impacting thousands of travellers during the busy summer period.
In a statement on Wednesday morning, Aer Lingus said the decision to cancel the flights was take "in order to continue to protect as many services as possible from the continuing and highly disruptive impact of Ialpa’s continuing industrial action".
Aer Lingus is offering free rebooking or full refunds/vouchers to passengers who have been affected by the cancellations, with more information available on the airline's website.
