Issues facing the Aviation Industry: Discussion (Resumed)
Ms Lynne Embleton:
Aer Lingus has fewer employees now than it had going into the pandemic. We have been able to achieve the majority of that process through voluntary means. We hope we can generally continue to right-size through voluntary means. We are in dialogue with the unions and as much of this discussion indicates, these are difficult issues at difficult times. We must right-size and ensure we are as efficient and cost-effective as possible precisely so we can justify getting aircraft up in the air quickly and profitably.
