Special Committee on Covid-19 Response

Covid-19: Impact on Aviation (resumed)

Mr. Sean Doyle:

I can give the Deputy the specific details but we are trying to keep as much of the shape of our network as possible in the medium term. Sometimes that involves having schedules that are published for later in the year open. That is a way of us gaging whether there is enough demand for those to fly, and then we have to take action. It is an important indicator as to whether there are enough people to fly the route to make it viable. The reality of the situation is that it is very fluid and dynamic and, at the minute, we are not seeing the demand come back to confirm when the Shannon-Heathrow service will be reinstated. I would love to see the demand come back more quickly to be at a point where we could do that.
