Mr. Kenny Jacobs:

I think everyone agrees that it would be a good thing. It is an instant thing that could be done. Nobody wants to spend time sitting on a plane on tarmac. It is ongoing at EU level. I have been in aviation for more than a decade, people were calling for it a decade ago and we are still waiting for something to happen.

Regarding whether we are ready for this summer, I am very confident that we are doing everything we can and that the right focus is there to make sure we get there so that security is not an issue this summer. We have 645 staff in security, which is roughly in line with where we were in 2019. We are modelling that we want more resilience and we are trying to get up to 800 staff at the peak for this summer. That gives us a buffer so that if things happen, we have the right flexibility to cope with that so we are trying to get from 645 to 800. Twice a week, we sit down and ask how many we have hired this week and what our retention rate this week is. I do not think pay is a barrier. A total of 98% of our unionised staff voted in favour of a pay deal as late as November, which is a good sign. Many businesses would not have such a positive vote.
