I propose to take Questions Nos. 363 and 364 together.

In general, in accordance with international aviation law overflights or non-traffic stops by an aircraft of a member state of the International Civil Aviation Organisation, engaged in non-scheduled or private services, may operate without prior permission from my Department and my Department would not normally have any information about them.

Aircraft N970SJ applied to this Department for one ad hoc passenger charter flight in 2004. Traffic rights were granted. In the case of four of the aircraft listed in the questions I have information from the relevant airport authorities on foot of previous inquiries. The following flights have landed in Irish airports since 1 January 2001: N313P — 14 times; N379P — 12 times; N8068V — three times; and N85VM — 19 times.
