Special Committee on Covid-19 Response
Covid-19: Impact on Aviation (resumed)
Mr. Sean Doyle:
We provide freight solutions through a number of gateways. Ideally, one would get those through Dublin but we do not have the type of capacity at Dublin to meet that particular flow and we then find another flow. The most important thing we can do is provide a service to Boston Scientific to get its goods in and out of the country. As I said, a solution that works for it is not available at the minute on Aer Lingus metal. It normally would be available because we would have a wide-body aircraft for Boston Scientific but the overall cargo demand and the overall passenger demand do not justify the deployment of that type of solution on that route. As I said, if demand came back we would have an island of Ireland solution that would enable that freight but at the minute we do not.
