Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Summer Plans for Dublin and Cork Airports: DAA (19 Jun 2024)

Darren O'Rourke: The DAA is dealing with its own operations department, the IAA and AirNav. Is it not the case that AirNav does not have the skills in-house to look at parallel runways?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Summer Plans for Dublin and Cork Airports: DAA (19 Jun 2024)
