I guess the revised schedule will have to remain:
Dear Customer,
You may be aware that the SIPTU trade union had served notice on Aer Lingus of a planned 4 hour work stoppage to commence Friday 14th March at 5am (Dublin).
Today, 12th March, SIPTU appears to have reached a decision not to progress with the planned stoppage. We have yet to be notified by SIPTU of this apparent decision. Due to the uncertainty created by SIPTU's strike threat Aer Lingus was forced to put a new schedule in place for 14th March. We notified customers of these changes to our schedule on Wednesday 5th March. Our focus was on re-accommodating customers, minimising disruption to their travel plans and providing clarity in relation to our flight schedule.
We are now less than 36 hours from the time of SIPTU's planned work stoppage and have yet to receive clarity from SIPTU on its intentions. We must now progress with the revised schedule as advised to customers on the 5th March. These details are outlined below.
