Ryanair Service Provision: Commissioner for Aviation Regulation and Irish Aviation Authority
1:30 pm
Mr. James Courtney:
I mentioned earlier that there were varying regulations in place prior to 2016. The new Regulation 83 was published in 2014. The airlines had to be compliant by 2016. Back in 2008, there were different regulations across Europe. The UK had its own regulations and so on. It was in that context that Europe decided to have a common set of flight time limitations across the board. That is the context in which it published the legally binding flight time limitations in 2014 to be compliant in 2016.
