Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

National Aviation Policy: Aer Lingus (Resumed)

Ms Lynne Embleton:

I will comment and then ask Mr. Moriarty to come in. We welcome the development of the runway, but without the corresponding hub infrastructure that will be ineffective. The development of airport infrastructure, particularly pier served stands, the ability to flow passengers through the airport, and the passenger processing facilities all need to keep pace with growth to develop a competitive hub for us. We agree with the broad content of the development plan. We believe the pace needs to be accelerated. The sequencing needs to prioritise those key aspects of pier served stand development particularly in the south and north, rather than in the west of the airport, and ahead of some of the other developments in the plan.
