Aer Lingus cancels more than 500 flights over maintenance works

Aer Lingus has reportedly cancelled more than 500 flights in the coming weeks due to what it describes as mandatory aircraft maintenance.
The move is expected to disrupt travel for tens of thousands of passengers on both European and transatlantic routes.

Cancellations reported in the Sunday Independent come amid growing concern across the aviation industry about jet fuel supply pressures.
Passengers are being rebooked where possible, with the airline adjusting its summer schedule.
