Aer Lingus has confirmed that 55 staff are to lose their jobs at the airline due the reduction in the company’s schedule. A spokesperson said that the employees, who work as cabin crew, were on fixed term contracts. Management subsequently contacted the individuals concerned by phone to inform them that their contracts were not being renewed. One union source said the majority of the fixed term contracts had been for a duration in excess of two years.

Aer Lingus chief executive Dermot Mannion, said today that the acceptance by workers of a €50m cost saving plan means 200 jobs losses.
In an interview on RTE radio, Mannion said Aer Lingus would continue to be a significant employer with 3,500 staff. He also said the deal would make Aer Lingus more competitive and there was no need for a merger with Ryanair.
He said management had not yet engaged with any shareholders, including the Government, on Ryanair’s takeover offer.
