Shannon Aviation Services and Miscellaneous Provisions Bill 2013: Discussion
10:15 am
Mr. Neil Pakey:
To take it from the airline perspective, if an airline has ordered another five airplanes it will put those five airplanes somewhere. It will be all those airports that are within range of those five aircraft. There is not a definitive answer. For an airport like Shannon, it is probably an airline in the smaller international gateway airports in Europe. To take the decision by United Airlines this week, it has expanded the season, which is great news.
