Recent Issues Concerning Aer Lingus Flight Booking and Check-in Services: Discussion
Mr. Peter O'Neill:
I will make some initial comments, after which Mr. Moriarty might contribute. The problem is the number of short-haul aircraft that are available to us. We had a net reduction in our short-haul fleet during Covid. The Deputy's question comes down to the best route option for the resources available to us, including aircraft, and what the opportunities are. The incentives that have been put in place are always welcome and help to support what the Deputy is referring to, but this issue falls into a broader business case around the best deployment of aircraft.
