Ryanair Service Provision: Commissioner for Aviation Regulation and Irish Aviation Authority

1:30 pm

Mr. James Courtney:

We do not get involved in commercial decisions made by Ryanair. Our remit is safety. We constantly monitor all of our airlines to make sure they are compliant. All of our airlines are and will remain compliant. As I said, we gave Ryanair an extended transition period to January 2018 - Aer Lingus is a smaller airline - to adjust its schedules and do whatever else it needed to do to meet the requirement. As there has been no request for a derogation, as of today, it will be compliant in January 2018 and operate to the new calendar year.
