Aer Lingus is considering compulsory redundancies and is reviewing its operations in Cork and Shannon Airports. In a communication to staff today, seen by RTÉ News, the airline's chief executive Sean Doyle said that previously announced job cuts "will be implemented on a voluntary basis if possible, but on a compulsory basis if necessary." He went to say that the airline has "no line of sight" on what was described as "meaningful resumption" of its operations in Cork and Shannon Airports. "As such we are reviewing the scale of our flying programme from these airports and the ongoing viability of our regional bases there," Mr Doyle said.
