Aer Arann

Strike averted at Aer Arann

Pilots and management have reached an agreement over a pay row.

ALL FLIGHTS ACROSS Aer Arann and Aer Lingus Regional schedules will run as normal next week as a planned strike has been cancelled.

The industrial action was averted when airline management and pilot representatives reached an agreement today.

The strike had been threatened for next Tuesday and Wednesday over an ongoing pay row, centred on a refusal by management to end a 2008 pay freeze or reverse pay cuts implemented when the airline was in financial trouble.

“‘We are pleased to confirm to our customers that it is business as usual at the airline. The strike has been averted. All services will operate fully, across all routes, at all airports,” an Aer Arann spokesperson said.

Aer Arann operated 27 routes, including Aer Lingus Regional flights.

Aer Lingus pilots balloted on strike action, but company says it has not been told

Talks to avoid strike action by Aer Arann underway

    I really hope people respect ‘family private’ means what it says. This family have shared enough their time left with him. Hope they have the good sense to have someone at the door to refuse people just in case. Have seen it disrespected at much lesser known people’s funerals.

    Paid my respects to Anthony and his family today. Shocking to see Anthony someone who was always so full of life and happiness lying so still in a casket.

    The Journal in referring to Anthony Foley, as “Foley” seems rather disrespectful and bad mannered. I just don’t get how any journalist worth their salt could be so thoughtless

    The Journal aren’t friends of his. No right to call him Foley. He was Anthony. His friends called him Anthony.
