Issues Affecting the Aviation Sector: Discussion
Cathal Crowe (Clare, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source
I will ask a few quick questions but might interject thereafter if that is okay. Like others, I looked forward to the traffic light system being announced. Green routes are very clear in that people can fly to those destinations, although it is quite debatable as to which countries are on the list because of the current Covid-19 figures. There is far less certainty in regard to orange and red routes, which is a problem. That has been flagged by airlines and airports, as well as politically and by consumers. There has been a negative reaction throughout the Union to the orange and red routes and to the lack of standardisation. Will Mr. Cornelis comment on the Commission's plans to reconsider standardising the guidelines?
