Shannon Aviation Services and Miscellaneous Provisions Bill 2013: Discussion

10:15 am

Mr. Neil Pakey:

I will try to do that. In the past four months we have sustained passenger growth. How have we done that after a period of five years of continued decline? I think it was 17% on average for each year. Much of it is simply relationships with airlines and convincing airlines to do business. There are many reasons an airline would do business, some of which were raised in this room because people have put forward the different good reasons people should fly into the region, but more often than not it comes down to continuous engagement with the operators and the market.
