Aer Lingus cancels all Dublin flights to UK and Europe due to 'major incident'

Aer Lingus has cancelled all UK flights scheduled to leave Dublin Airport after 2pm as an ongoing IT issue wreaks havoc.

Earlier today, passengers with the Irish airline faced "chaos" as an IT issue reportedly prevented passengers from checking in, with images being posted on social media showing hundreds of people queueing up to check in bags. Dozens of flights have been severely delayed, including a flight from Dublin to Manchester that was supposed to leave at 10.15am.

Dublin Airport's live departure information, and third party flight trackers, both say the 10.15am flight is still waiting to take off, with no time estimate given for when the flight might depart. A second flight was scheduled to leave at 3.15pm, but will be affected by the cancellations.
