Pilots at Emerald Airlines will begin industrial action today starting with refusal to work overtime, days off and other out of hours duties.
The airline operates regional flights, including the public service obligation Dublin to Donegal service on behalf of Aer Lingus. Flights to and from Donegal Airport will not be affected by today’s action.
The pilots are members of IALPA, a branch of the Forsa trade union, who accuse the company of failing to agree a collective agreement with pilots.
A spokesperson for Emerald Airlines described the action as unnecessary and said the airline is confident it will not impact operations nor cause any disruption to our passengers.
