Recent Issues Concerning Aer Lingus Flight Booking and Check-in Services: Discussion
Mr. Donal Moriarty:
The options are certainly reduced from what they were in Shannon and Cork airports. This is for the reasons we have outlined, including the pressure put on our business during the pandemic. This was driven significantly by the most stringent restrictions in Europe and imposed by the Government on the aviation sector in Ireland. That played a big part in the pressure put not only on our airline but other airlines. As a consequence of the impact of the pandemic we had to make those choices and reductions in the fleet. We have ambition to regrow our fleet, as we have said.
