Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
National Aviation Policy: Aer Lingus (Resumed)
Ms Lynne Embleton:
Stands and infrastructure. We have bottlenecks in passenger processing. We need to be able to offer customers a quick, seamless connection over Dublin Airport because they can get that elsewhere. That sort of infrastructure development is different from the infrastructure needed for simple point-to-point and short-haul flying. We need the infrastructure and the cost base to enable airlines to grow, to offer attractive fares and, therefore, to attract customers over that hub. If we have the infrastructure, the cost base and the sustainability issue key and accelerated, we have the makings of a successful future for the aviation industry.
