The country's main airports look set to be thrown into travel chaos this week as Aer Lingus staff plan a walk out.

SIPTU informed the airline that workers will leave their jobs to attend a protest meeting on Thursday morning.

The meeting is scheduled to take place at 9.45am and is expected to last over an hour.

All flights operated by the carrier will be affected as passenger won't be able to check in and baggage won't be loaded onto planes.

The move is the staff's latest expression of dissatisfaction with the terms of the sell-off of the state airline.
