Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Issues facing the Aviation Industry: Discussion (Resumed)

Ms Lynne Embleton:

It would be significant. As we have laid out, other things need to happen and be addressed. The restrictions around treating the UK and the US differently and the issue of families are all things that are really important to us. We used those words in our supplementary statement. If the combination of these things means the changes on 19 July are looking like too little, too late to have a meaningful part for the season for Aer Lingus, that has serious consequences in terms of our financial health, restoring connectivity and rebuilding routes. Antigen testing is, therefore, really important. It is one part of everything we believe we need to see addressed.
