Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
National Aviation Policy: Aer Lingus (Resumed)
Mr. Reid Moody:
The fleet back in 2019 was 40 short-haul aircraft, 37 of which were owned,. We also rented in what we call aircraft, crew, maintenance and insurance, ACMI, aircraft and these became effectively part of our fleet as well. Throughout Covid-19, we basically downsized by 25%. That is, 40 aircraft went down to 30. We have added two additional aircraft this year. We were able to get those tactically and they were not in the plan.
