Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Situation at Dublin Airport: Discussion

Ms Lynne Embleton:

I will start with Emerald Airlines and then pass to Mr. Moriarty. When Stobart Air went out of business, Emerald Airlines stepped up very quickly. We have worked extensively with Emerald Airlines over the past six to nine months to help it get ready and ensure it is ready. It has done an amazing job in getting its aeroplanes and crew in place. That has enabled the resumption of a lot of services that would have been lost otherwise with Stobart Air's demise.

Looking ahead to the winter, we know how seasonal the demand in and out of Ireland is. Where we see demand for the winter we will fly that demand and, again, we will be ready from a resource perspective.
