Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Chairperson Designate of the DAA: Discussion

Mr. Basil Geoghegan:

Ultimately, it has to be in the hands of the airlines but related to numbers of passengers delivered. There has to be a connection between the two. Reducing airport charges does not make the connection but having that connection is important. If any airline is able to put on a route and deliver a certain amount of passengers, it should be rewarded for it, especially if it would not have happened but for the subsidy. That is important.
