Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Situation at Dublin Airport: Discussion

Mr. Donal Moriarty:

To give a sense of those commitments, they were to continue the services that existed in 2015 for a seven-year period. The Deputy is right; that period will expire in September. However, we resumed Shannon-Heathrow services post pandemic in September of last year, and we added services shortly after the runway closure at Cork Airport. We maintained those services at three a day since then. Obviously, these are impacted by the mandate. Our services to London Heathrow go beyond September. Today, a person can buy a ticket to fly to Heathrow from Shannon for next June. Commercially, those services are simply continuing as normal.
