Special Committee on Covid-19 Response

Covid-19: Impact on Aviation (resumed)

Mr. Sean Doyle:

As I said, we have had to make some tough decisions. We have a very small operation in Cork now, a service to Heathrow and another to Amsterdam. It was not viable to maintain a service at Shannon. The Senator should trust me, we have also made significant reductions at Dublin Airport, which is operating at a fraction of what it would have operated at this time last year. There is no part of the Aer Lingus operation that has not been dramatically downsized in the past couple of months. Where we have not had a flight operating out of Shannon, we have given people an alternative. That makes sense for us to do for our customers.
