Travelwise - the ITAA Blog

If you are looking for the ITAA today (Friday 21st) we are at our Annual Conference in the Athlone Sheraton Hotel.    Check out our website’s news section.

We have formally written to SIPTU this morning, asking them to spell out precisely what sort of strike action they are threatening at Aer Lingus from 24 November onwards.  We are receiving many enquiries from Agents and consumers wondering whether it is safe to book flights in two weeks time and after.  We are also being asked “what about Christmas”?  These are good questions.  SIPTU does not seem to realise that by threatening blanket disruption they are driving people away to other airlines and damaging the viability of Aer Lingus in the longer term.
