Special Committee on Covid-19 Response

Covid-19: Impact on International Travel

Mr. Neil McGowan:

That information is not available to the trade unions. I think the representatives of the airlines are the only people who can answer how many people have been affected and what the total cost of a refund scheme would be. Everybody has massive sympathy for people who have saved and put a considerable amount of their resources into a family holiday and now find themselves in the very difficult situation where it is not available to them. We would be broadly supportive of a refund scheme for people but, unfortunately, we do not have the information the Deputy has requested, nor have we access to it.
