Briefing
A second wave of cabin‑crew strikes in the UK risks further disruption to schedules and recovery at Aer Lingus’ Manchester base; large-scale industrial action has forced cancellations and network adjustments across Europe (French ATC strike Oct 7–10).
Aer Lingus reported a Q2 operating profit of €135m earlier this year but recently faced major operational shocks at Dublin airport; underperformance at Manchester reduces the carrier’s flexibility to absorb more disruption (Q2 operating profit €135m, Dublin airport cyberattack and bomb scare).
