The Labour Court is to intervene in the pay dispute between Aer Lingus management and the Irish Airline Pilots Association (IALPA) with a hearing scheduled for tomorrow.
The court has urged pilots to not escalate industrial action, but the current work-to-rule will continue.
After an eight-hour meeting with both parties, the Labour Court announced its decision to intervene under the Industrial Relations Act.
Final written submissions are required from both sides by the end of today Court hearings and a recommendation will follow tomorrow.
Aer Lingus pilots have warned of a possible escalation of industrial action if the current ongoing Labour Court intervention fails.
Aer Lingus chief corporate affairs officer Donal Moriarty indicated that the company will review cancellation programme later in the week in the event of talks breaking down again.
