Aer Lingus, the national airline of Ireland serving in excess of 10 million passengers a year, is one of the country’s most iconic brands.

ResourceLink Aurora’s Self-Service module will under-pin the delivery of HR services to employees and managers across the company. The new solution will deliver improved management information capability, while also allowing for greater flexibility in the provision of HR services.
Brian Bowden, Director of HR Operations, Aer Lingus said: “We were looking for a company with a proven track record to provide the quality of service that we require on time and in budget. NGA’s credentials and long history working in the Irish market made them the ideal candidate. We look forward to a successful partnership with their team. ”
