Furious Aer Lingus passengers lashed out after they were told their flights would go ahead – only for them to be cancelled when they got through security.
Similar horror stories were revealed yesterday following weekend chaos at Dublin Airport while the airline tried to return to uninterrupted services. A systems outage on Saturday caused the cancellation of 52 Aer Lingus flights in and out of the capital for destinations in Europe and the UK.
The carrier pledged yesterday to return to normal – but the weekend disruption continues for thousands of passengers. Stranded travellers and disappointed holidaymakers unleashed their frustrations online and on RTE Radio 1’s Liveline show.
