Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Recent Issues Concerning Aer Lingus Flight Booking and Check-in Services: Discussion

Ms Lynne Embleton:

I will ask Ms Carberry to comment. We took two aircraft into the fleet before the Covid pandemic and did not have an opportunity to fly them. Those aircraft are now flying and happen to be ex-Qatar Airways aircraft. One of the impacts of the pandemic is that the chain has struggled and getting spare parts for those aircraft in terms of IFE has proven to be more of a challenge than we would have expected. We are looking to upgrade the interiors of those aircraft as soon as we can get the spare parts and components to do so.
