Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Aviation Trends, Air Traffic Control and Drone Activity: Discussion

1:30 pm

Mr. Philip Hughes:

From a Eurocontrol point of view, we are there to provide support to the air traffic service providers and to the ANSPs. We have an airports unit that works specifically with all the different airports in terms of working on efficiency. It is things like helping them and collaborative decision-making to make sure they get as much efficiency out of the infrastructure as possible.

For the points raised by the Deputy, the design piece of that is, frankly, a domestic matter. Unless we are asked to provide advice or something like that, we do not have any executive authority to come in there.
