Aer Lingus Pilots Approve Pay Increase, Concluding Labor Dispute

The agreement includes a 17.75% pay raise over four years and ends disruptions that canceled over 600 flights.

85% of union members voted in favor of the Labour Court's recommendation.
The industrial action had led to the cancellation of 610 flights, affecting more than 84,000 passengers.
The new pay deal is the largest seen in 30 years for Aer Lingus pilots.
The agreement also includes structural changes to pay scales and the elimination of certain work agreements.
Union leaders emphasize that the deal reflects the company's profitability and protects salaries from inflation.
