Aer Lingus ground more flights as cancellations approach 50

Aer Lingus has scrapped at least 11 more flights as its cancellation numbers now approach 50 in just six days.

In a statement to the Irish Mirror, the airline last night confirmed that thousands of disappointed passengers were affected when it axed 22 flights which were due to fly today and yesterday. These are in addition to 13 cancellations last Sunday, three on Monday and 12 on Wednesday.

The national carrier has blamed the cancellations on Covid cases, problems at Heathrow Airport in London and a strike in France. The latest cancellations affect eight cities in five countries, including Berlin, Bordeaux, Dusseldorf, Hamburg, London, Munich and Paris.
