Mr. Basil Geoghegan:

We see opportunities for any airport on Europe's western seaboard, including ours, because a narrow-bodied aeroplane can be used to fly across the Atlantic, which is a lucrative market. We could show people that, by flying into that airport and onwards, they would have a lower carbon charge than if they flew from Barcelona to Frankfurt. Services like Skyscanner and Google Flights tell people how much carbon they are using. Perhaps there could even be a carbon allowance in future. It is important to think about the future. Mr. Pádraig Ó Céidigh is capable of doing that on his own and without my advice. Having smaller electric jets or electric props, potentially with vertical take-off capability - large lessors like Avolon are investing in such aircraft - will change the neural network, as it were. One of the manufacturers of these new jets told me that he viewed this as the decentralisation of aviation because it did not all have to be at one large airport. Smaller airports could be used.
