The DAA should consider it. Similarly, one of my brothers was away and his flight was slightly delayed. It came in at 12.25 a.m. He had to check in bags. The flight was 20 minutes late and the Aircoaches were gone. We are trying to get people to use buses. I am not saying they need to run 24 hours but could there be a facility that if the planes are delayed on particular nights, an extra one is there, especially if the passengers have booked. They have paid for the service but do not get it and are stuck with a €50 taxi because, at that hour of the night, not much is available. I think it is great. I never drive to the airport. I just do not do it anymore at all. I always get the Aircoach, which involves a bit of complication. I have to get a lift from the Aircoach stop at the other end or maybe get dropped down to it, depending on the time of day, but we should be encouraging people to use buses and the buses should be in line with the passenger schedules and make allowances for delays. I accept Aircoach is a profit route and not a PSO route, but it is important, particularly when people have booked. Is there a way to speak to Aircoach?
