Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications
Forthcoming Transport, Telecommunications and Energy Council: Discussion with Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport
9:45 am
Ms Ethna Brogan:
Pricing for the carriage of passengers and their baggage is considered a full commercial freedom of the airlines. There is nothing in the proposal to standardise those charges. As the Minister said, there is a proposal to ensure that at the time of booking, full transparency about the charges is provided to the consumer for both the basic fare, cabin baggage and hold baggage.
