Ms Lynne Embleton:

I made the point earlier that if there is point-to-point demand or local demand from regional airports to destinations and vice versa, those routes can be profitably served. The role of a hub is different. It is a big home market bringing connecting traffic to enable more routes. It is kind of an exponential effect. We should be proud of the Dublin hub and should be doing everything we can to grow it and its infrastructure. I do not see that as competing directly with the regional airports. It is about the regional airports having the demand to justify point-to-point services, and then you have to find aircraft year-round and not just for the three months of the summer peak, which is something else we discussed earlier. As we discussed earlier, it is about whether that is something that Emerald Airlines would want to operate in its own right with a small aircraft, or if the point-to-point demand is large enough for the jets to operate. It is primarily around the demand coupled with the connecting benefit you get from a hub.
