Irish Airline Pilots' Association (IALPA) members voted 99% in support of action.
Aer Lingus pilots have moved closer to a possible strike after voting overwhelmingly in favour of industrial action.
Pilots who are members of the Irish Airline Pilots' Association voted 99% in support of action, up to and including a strike.The ballot was conducted in person over the weekend and attracted a turnout of 89%. IALPA members voted in favour of industrial action via electronic ballot last week but Aer Lingus questioned the validity of the poll.
The association's president Captain Mark Tighe said the result of the second ballot was “an incredible reaffirmation of our mandate for industrial action in pursuit of a meaningful pay offer”. Aer Lingus said that "any decision by IALPA to now serve notice of industrial action would be entirely unnecessary and would result in significant disruption to the airline's customers and to other employees".Record profits for BA owner as air travel recoversAer Lingus jobs at risk on Belfast-Heathrow routeIt is the first time Jersey has had an air link with Belfast City Airport since 2013, say airport bosses.
