Aer Lingus flight schedules are getting back to normal following a resolution of the three-week-old dispute between cabin crew and management.
The breakthrough came in talks at the Labour Relations Commission aimed at resolving the dispute between cabin crew and management there.
The IMPACT trade union says it has agreed to suspend industrial action pending the outcome of a binding Labour Relations Commission arbitration.
The dispute centres on new rosters introduced without union agreement almost three weeks ago.
IMPACT said the rosters were unreasonable, and made family life impossible.
Efforts to resolve the dispute have been continuing at the LRC this week, with talks running until about 11pm each night.
Yesterday negotiations resumed shortly after noon, and ran through the night. Now after 20 hours of non-stop talks, a breakthrough has come.
Cabin crew will be restored to normal duties and payroll pending the outcome of a binding LRC arbitration.
IMPACT will suspend industrial action pending that outcome, which the union says is expected soon.
Aer Lingus says it made concessions on issues relating to the quality of life of staff, including the timing of meals, and time off.
The airline says however that there might be disruption to flights today, as talks have just finished, and passengers are advised to check the Aer Lingus website.
