Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
Irish Air Navigation Service: Chairperson Designate
Mr. Bryan Bourke:
The flight plans are regulated. Under international regulations, the IAA regulates what we do and we need its approval for everything we do. As I understand the matter, if a change to the way the aeroplanes take off or land is intended, the DAA would initiate that process with the regulator. I understand that changing the direction on the south runway and bringing the aeroplanes back this way, as it were, would probably require military engagement due to Baldonnel.
