Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Issues Affecting the Aviation Sector: Discussion

Mr. Filip Cornelis:

First, the job will be to try to get buy-in from EU member states with respect to the ECDC and EASA as well as the health security committee. As far as third countries are concerned, that will clearly be important for the resumption of aviation in the future. I fully understand the specific situation of Ireland and the importance of the UK market for travel. It is indeed very intense but I am afraid I cannot say much about that at this stage, other than that our first objective is to come up with a testing protocol in the first instance that achieves good acceptance across the EU.
