Gerry Horkan: Is it the case that the airline cannot say it wants to go this way or that way because it will save it fuel? Do the airlines not have that level of discretion?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Standard Instrument Departures at Dublin Airport: Irish Aviation Authority (17 May 2023)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Standard Instrument Departures at Dublin Airport: Irish Aviation Authority (17 May 2023)
Gerry Horkan: But, by and large, they would be using the SIDs, as described, and they do not have that much discretion, other than a bird strike or if something goes wrong. They follow what they have been told to do. We were talking about airlines being able to cut fat to save them fuel. They are not doing it for that reason.

Gerry Horkan: It tends to be that the aircraft tend to come in over the sea when landing, and they go east-west and they take off that way as well. Is that historical? I can understand why they come in east-west because they are primarily flying in from Europe. That is the vast bulk, although there are US ones as well.

Gerry Horkan: You fly into the wind and it gives you the extra lift or whatever.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Standard Instrument Departures at Dublin Airport: Irish Aviation Authority (17 May 2023)
