Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Situation at Dublin Airport: Discussion (26 Jul 2022)

Duncan Smith: My first question is for Aer Lingus. The witnesses have said overall staff levels are at 91% of pre-pandemic levels. Aer Lingus has increased the number of pilots by 6% and call centre staff by 90. I am not sure what the percentage is.
