Committee on Defence and National Security

Recent Air Corps Developments: Discussion

2:00 am

Mr. Rory O'Connor:

With our current service and, again, no more than was mentioned and what we are talking about here for air traffic control, ATC, we are at just below 50% of our technician strength. We have an establishment of 322. We are just at 160 at this stage. It is a challenge for us to mitigate that. In terms of developing and ensuring that we are able to deliver the air capability, we have a contracted element coming in to provide technical services. We also bring aircraft away for maintenance.
