A total of 244 Aer Lingus flights have been cancelled from Wednesday to Sunday of next week so far due to industrial action by IALPA pilots.
Of these 120 flights are cancelled on Saturday as a result of an eight hour stoppage by pilots union IALPA, affecting 15,000 passengers.
The union has imposed an indefinite work-to-rule to begin a work-to-rule from Wednesday and an eight-hour strike on Saturday.
IALPA seeks a 24pc pay rise, accusing Aer Lingus of neglecting pilots’ pay.
Minister Peter Burke has urged parties to enter talks and resolve the dispute.
