Special Committee on Covid-19 Response

Covid-19: Impact on Aviation

Mr. Ray Gray:

I am sorry if the Deputy feels I have been less than forthcoming with the committee but I can assure him that is absolutely not the case. I have said categorically in response to his inquiry that the information that is being collected is not being collected by the DAA. Several State agencies operate at the airport under their own mandates and arrangements. They do not require specific permission from us to operate, nor do they have to inform us of their activities. That is why I am regrettably unable to be more helpful to the committee.
