Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

National Aviation Policy: Aer Lingus (Resumed)

Mr. Reid Moody:

The EWSS and TWSS were solely used for Irish staff. No one on a UK payroll had access to them. That is the first point. The strategic decision to start operating from Manchester was purely down to the fact that Manchester lost a huge amount of capacity through the insolvency of Thomas Cook and the retraction of Virgin. We saw the opportunity to take advantage of that, which at a macro level is only good for Aer Lingus as a group. The two things are completely separate.
