Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport

Irish Aviation Authority: Engagement

2:00 am

Mr. Declan Fitzpatrick:

When we assess an airport from a safety and security perspective, a big part of what I mentioned earlier, the safety management system, is that they have critical response plans. What we are focusing on is how we respond to or manage a critical incident. Exercises are done continuously on how to respond to an incident such as those the Chair described. We do take account of that element. Those exercises are ongoing. We look at things like power resilience, cyberattacks, etc. They are all built into the safety and security assessment of the airport.
