Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Aviation Trends, Air Traffic Control and Drone Activity: Discussion

1:30 pm

Mr. Philip Hughes:

Yes, absolutely. We can see the societal changes. We already know that companies like Uber and Deliveroo struggle to get through the traffic and, as a result, there is a business case or business model for doing it. It is interesting. The other point is that there is a great deal of private capital going into this. Many of the major companies such as Google and Boeing have bought a number of companies in this space. The initial wave which I call the inventor or entrepreneur types has gone through and now we are looking at the commercialisation of it.
