Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
National Aviation Policy: Aer Lingus (Resumed)
Mr. Reid Moody:
I am pleased to say that the transatlantic route has been a fantastic performer this summer but I will not go into specific load factors because that is commercially sensitive. I am glad that we will fly more transatlantic flights from Shannon this winter and next summer than we did in 2019. Previously we had four flights per week to JFK but we will be up to full daily flights. Even this winter, apart from a couple of weeks in the depths of February when we have to take the aircraft in for maintenance, we will fly much more of a full-year service on both Boston and JFK versus anything we have done historically.
