Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Aviation Trends, Air Traffic Control and Drone Activity: Discussion

1:30 pm

Mr. Philip Hughes:

No. We run what we call a support to states programme. We talk to each of the member states about what they want to do. Sometimes it is about implementing regulations. It might be around cybersecurity. We get a lot of queries on drones, and I will come to that in terms of aeroplanes risk assessments, but generally speaking it depends on what the pinch point is with each member state as to what it requires. Obviously, we are there to provide the expertise if it is required and we do, at an airport level, provide a lot of technical support as the airports approach us and ask if we help them with this particular issue.
