Mr. Sean Brogan:

The advantage and the uplift as a result of being able to sell the Kerry product in the US was significant and we have reported those numbers. Since the awarding of the PSO route in Donegal, our commercial teams are working with the marketing teams in both airports and engaging with Tourism Ireland and Aer Lingus on the basis that now we have a product that allows people to travel to one airport and depart from another. It is really opening up the western seaboard along the Wild Atlantic Way and it demonstrates huge potential when one can get global reach with a brand like Aer Lingus. Any exposure or advancement on the exposure can only be a good thing for the growth of those routes.

The contract is between Stobart Air and the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport. We have certain key performance indicators on growth and how we drive traffic through those things. The growth in Kerry in the 18 months after the connection using through ticketing has been significant. We will continue to work with the airports and regions to advance that.
