Issues facing the Aviation Industry: Discussion (Resumed)
Ms Lynne Embleton:
Obviously, I cannot comment on the economics of building such a rail link but it is self-evident that an airport that can expand its catchment area is more likely to have more customers and potentially sustain more routes. Shannon could not be a competitor hub to Dublin - the dynamics of airline hubs are quite unique - but catchment area and accessibility to airports are success factors behind developing routes.
