Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Irish Air Navigation Service: Chairperson Designate

Mr. Bryan Bourke:

We have little direct control. Even though I have been a victim of the delays caused by the French over the course of the summer, and I spent time on the tarmac in the airport, I have not discussed that experience with the CEO or the board. My CEO has contact with the leaders of the other providers so I am sure those discussions take place at some level. The company is quite active internationally in alliances to try to make things more seamless. It is in one alliance which is called the A6 Alliance and it is part of another alliance that the UK is not in, which is called COOPANS, which to a large degree is based around technology, procurement and delivering more for the smaller countries by co-operating.

I am sure those discussions take place but we do not have influence.
