Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Update on Issues in Aviation Sector: Engagement with Mr. Willie Walsh

Mr. Willie Walsh:

We are fighting it because our members want us to do so. They do not believe that what the Dutch Government is doing will achieve the objective. If they believed in it, they would not have asked us to fight the previous case. They would have decided to fly into Eindhoven. We fought that decision on the basis that it did not make sense and that airlines would not move their flights that were scheduled to go into Amsterdam to another airport. It was clear they would not do that. They asked us to fight that decision and we did so. I am happy to send the committee details on that.
