Special Committee on Covid-19 Response
Covid-19: Impact on Aviation (resumed)
Mr. Eddie Wilson:
Ryanair flies to different markets from Aer Lingus, which obviously has long haul. Our short haul is exclusively within Europe. Again, the framework already exists. The European Union has decided this already, and we as a nation have decided to exit ourselves from that co-ordinated approach. Currently there is no testing between countries on short haul within Europe, but there is some talk about it. I think we should get on the first level first, which is to put all the EU 27 and the UK on the same platform.
