General Scheme of the Irish Aviation Authority (Amendment) Bill 2017: Discussion
10:00 am
Mr. James Gavin:
On the point of the efficiency of an airport, dealing with the screening of passengers and baggage is a responsibility for the airport. Our responsibility in the Irish Aviation Authority is to ensure that the airport employs with the common basic standards under Regulation 300 of 2008. If it wants to have two or ten check-in desks, that is a matter for itself. There are some related delays which are covered by the Commission of Aviation Regulation, CAR, but that is outside our responsibility. It is just to ensure that the airport or regulated entity complies with the common basic standards for aviation security.
