The tentative travel plans of thousands of Aer Lingus customers have been thrown into disarray after the airline canceled flights to multiple destinations across the EU for the remainder of the year blaming a lack of demand. Since the start of this week, the airline has cancelled flights to Croatia as well as cities in France and Italy. Confirming the cancellations, Aer Lingus said it was rearranging its summer schedule in the wake of the recent confirmation from the Government that restrictions on international travel are set to be eased from the middle of next month. Among the destinations to have flights pulled in July and August are Perpignan, Nantes, Catania and Alghero as well as Croatia. “Given the situation with international travel prior to the recent Government announcement, it was not possible for Aer Lingus to accurately predict where the demand would be,” he continued.
