Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport

Irish Aviation Authority: Engagement

2:00 am

Mr. Declan Fitzpatrick:

It comes back to Deputy Crowe's point about the national aviation policy. We do not decide where airlines fly in Irish airports. We just implement the policy and make sure that when they fly to certain airports, the airlines and the airport are operating safely and securely. Wherever they decide to fly, we will make sure it is safe, but if the Government wants to set a policy of what airports get what traffic, that is a prerogative of the Government, not of the IAA.
