Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
Issues facing the Aviation Industry: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Kevin Thompstone:
We have not engaged with them directly. There has been a whole range of engagement with various aviation interests, including airport leasing companies, manufacturing maintenance companies, the hotels, Tourism Ireland and the airports themselves. We have not yet engaged directly with airlines but we are very much open to doing so. It is a marathon, not a sprint, so we will be working on it constantly. We started work on it back in January. That will continue over the coming months until we get the right result. It is too important for our economy. We cannot appear to get it wrong.
