Aer Lingus has lost the opportunity to secure a new Airbus A321XLR for a second time, because of the ongoing pilots pay dispute.
It follows a decision last month by the airline's parent, IAG , to allocate the first of the new aircraft due for delivery to another group airline due to the uncertainty around costs at Aer Lingus arising from the row.
"Aer Lingus was unable to give IAG the confidence it needed in our cost structure, resulting in the inaugural A321 XLR – originally planned for Aer Lingus –being allocated elsewhere in the group," the airline said in a statement.
