Delays at Dublin Airport: Discussion
Mr. Vincent Harrison:
In summary, yes, we have engaged with the airlines. We have obviously run a variety of scenarios as we look forward to determine the future demand and future capacity. As part of that scenario planning, we have actively discussed with the airlines whether they have the capability and desire to shift capacity to other airports should the need arise. When I say that, they obviously have the prerogative to move capacity at any point and we have had open engagement with the airlines. There are a range of logistical challenges in that regard, not least crew and resources on the airline side, but we have been open and explicit in our discussion with the airlines on that.
