Colm Burke: Do we have any idea of the numbers who are coming in from countries that are not on the green corridor at the minute? What kind of numbers per day are coming in?

Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Covid-19: Impact on International Travel (24 Jul 2020)

Colm Burke: If it was a situation that we were able to deal with this problem and a vaccine was identified in the morning, what is Mr. McGowan's estimate regarding the timeframe when we could get back up to a normal running of business? How long would it take for both the airports and the airlines to recover the losses they have now suffered?

Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Covid-19: Impact on International Travel (24 Jul 2020)

Colm Burke: Belfast International Airport, which has flights coming in from a far larger number of destinations than Dublin, Cork, Shannon or any of the other airports. How would Mr. McGowan advise the Government on dealing with that challenge and how should we approach it from the point of view of the numbers coming in through Belfast who are free to travel throughout the Thirty-two Counties?
