Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
Issues Affecting the Aviation Sector: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Evan Cullen:
I understand the question refers to the infrastructure at the airport. In the three main airports there is space for enhanced social distancing and testing. This simply involves taking out some of the retail areas and using the retail floor space to increase spacing between passengers at the security and immigration areas and also providing rapid, mandatory antigen testing. All of that can be facilitated by reconfiguring the airports and having less retail.
