DUBLIN—Aer Lingus said it had resolved an IT problem that led it to cancel 51 flights between Dublin airport and other European destinations on Saturday as check-in and boarding was disrupted.

The Irish carrier, owned by London-listed IAG, said “a major incident with a network provider” meant it could not access its cloud-based systems, leaving hundreds of passengers stranded outside the country’s main airport.
