I will ask the question. I travel to America every year to visit family on a direct flight to Atlanta, Georgia. When I was booking the flight three weeks ago, my daughter asked whether I would fly with Air France because the ticket would cost €600 less, even though I would be taking the same Delta flight from Dublin to Atlanta. I consider Delta to offer the most direct route to Atlanta and it is the biggest airline flying into that city from Ireland. If IAG takes over Aer Lingus and begins to sell seats for British Airways on the same aircraft to New York, customers should be informed. Perhaps I should be better informed, but I think customers are not being informed. Like Delta, if IAG takes over, it will be looking for higher profits. I apologise for interrupting the Chairman.
