Summer Plans for Dublin and Cork Airports: DAA
1:10 pm
Mr. Kenny Jacobs:
That is air traffic control, but flight paths are the responsibility of the airport operator, which is us. We are saying to AirNav, “Help us run the flight paths.” Flight path design and promulgation is our responsibility and we involve AirNav in that. We are responsible for the design of the flight paths, but the implementation of the flight paths on a daily basis is air traffic control. We see it as our responsibility. Finding an improvement is our responsibility, which we will do in consultation with AirNav, IAA and, as Mr. McLean said, other groups if we think there is a better flight path out there.
