Mr. Michael McGrail:

As I understand it, the separation would involve the traffic navigation aspects of the work of the IAA being moved to a new company. The safety and regulation aspects would remain and would fall under the remit of the CAR. That is my understanding of it. Legally, and from a process point of view, there would be many issues to resolve but that is my understanding of the proposal.

The AAIU is very much an independent body.

In regard to R116 in particular, the IAA has co-operated with the AAIU. I do not have further knowledge on the relationship with it.
