Strike Called Off On Aer Lingus Talks
The Irish Air Line Pilots' Association (IALPA) executive has called off planned strike after considering a written offer of talks advanced by Aer Lingus.
The airline's Chief Executive Dermot Mannion wrote to the union to ask them to call for the strike to be called off and for the union to engage in talks.
The Aer Lingus talks offer was understood to be conditional on the strike being called off.
Around 500 pilots were due to start 48 hours of industrial action in protest over less favourable terms and conditions being offered by Aer Lingus for the new Belfast hub.
Taoiseach Bertie Ahern has intervened in the Shannon air links crisis and asked for a report to examine the options for airline operations in the region.
Mr Ahern has asked the inter-departmental group to report on all available options to and from Shannon airport.
