Delays at Dublin Airport: Discussion

Mr. Dalton Philips:

No, absolutely not. We compete against all the other European airports. Our goal is to get people through as quickly as possible, to get them into the departure lounge and get them comfortable. It is very standard across all major airports to have a fast-track product. The airlines, in many cases, will demand that airports have that. If we are competing for airlines such as Qatar Airways or Emirates to come to Dublin Airport, one of their prerequisites will be that we have to have a fast-track product. Aer Lingus is very proud of its fast-track product. It is not the case that it is in the interests of the DAA to have queues. Perhaps Mr. Harrison wants to share some points on that question.
