Mr. Peter O'Neill:

Across the airport there are further developments taking place, including taxiways and stand infrastructure. Dublin Airport is probably unique in a sense. We have seen the public comments asking why de-icing takes so long but we do not get these weather events that often. In other airports, however, there is a de-icing area at the airport en route to the taxiway. That leads to a much more efficient de-icing process. In Dublin Airport, de-icing takes place on each stand. In that scenario you have to move that ground equipment from one aircraft and stand to a different aircraft. That adds more time into the sequence.
