Special Committee on Covid-19 Response

Covid-19: Impact on Aviation (resumed)

Mr. Eddie Wilson:

There are still two aircraft there. We have not taken out any of the aircraft, they are just flying less. Of course we want to fly them more, it would be helpful if we had a programme of incentives, for instance it would be helpful to link Shannon with the rest of Europe if the Government put the rest of Europe and the UK on the green list so that people would want to fly to Shannon.

Earlier Mr. Doyle asked for the relaxation of airport charges. While this would help airlines, how would it help airports?
