Aer Lingus (EI, Dublin International) has reduced its senior management numbers by 25% and offered redundancy to 20 more managers amid cost-cutting measures. This was revealed after pilots questioned the airline on expansion plans following the proposed lifting of the passenger cap at Dublin International. The airline added that it was planning to review the “size and shape” of its schedule following a EUR103 million (USD117.3 million) loss in the first quarter of 2026. This comes as parent IAG International Airlines Group set 12-15% operating margin targets for its subsidiaries. Aer Lingus posted an 11.1% margin for 2025.
