Agents in Ireland are breathing a sigh of relief after the union representing Aer Lingus pilots recommended they accept a near 20% pay rise – one poised to end weeks of damaging industrial action, which has seen upwards of 550 flights cancelled.
Dunne has called the proposal was very positive 'for intending travellers and the tourism sector'
Clare Dunne, chief executive of the Irish Travel Agents’ Association (ITAA), hailed the agreement "a very positive development for intending travellers and the tourism sector".
"The ITAA has consistently stated compromise and engagement between Ialpa [the Irish Airline Pilots Association] and Aer Lingus was the way only forward and best for every stakeholder involved, most importantly the customer," she said. "We look forward to a positive outcome."
