The Labour Court has recommended a 17.75% pay increase for Aer Lingus pilots to resolve a long-running pay dispute. The recommendation comes after a series of hearings and negotiations between Aer Lingus and the Irish Airline Pilots Association (IALPA) that concluded on July 3. Aer Lingus has accepted the Labour Court's proposal, and the pilots are set to be balloted on the recommendation. The dispute, which had led to the cancellation of dozens of flights, saw the Labour Court issue its recommendation on July 8. No further strikes are expected while the pilots await the outcome of the ballot, aiming to end the industrial action.
