Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications

Proposed Sale of Aer Lingus: (Resumed) Aer Lingus and Stobart Air

5:00 pm

Mr. Sean Brogan:

Any business constantly has to remain cost competitive. With the combination of the aircraft we operate and the business we run with that, we are as competitive as any other turbo-prop operator in Europe. Should the merger happen I would certainly use that to take advantage of the possibility of expansion, as I would with any other franchise carrier. Since the inception of the franchise agreement with Aer Lingus we have expanded with other airlines, with CityJet and Flybe. We will continue to do that.
