The Irish airline began cancelling flights in September after “messing up” the rostering of pilots. These cancellations were later extended through to March 2018 with around 20,000 services being axed.
But the pilots crisis has yet to put a dent in its financial results with revenue rising by 7% to €4.4 billion for the six months up to September 30. Passenger numbers went up by 11% over the same period to 72.1 million.
