To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if he will explore the potential for Kerry Airport to cater to additional flights and routes given the excessive delays and operational difficulties affecting inbound and outbound flights at Dublin Airport; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

During my engagements with airlines on the security queues issues at Dublin Airport, I did discuss the possibility of moving capacity to other airports with them, however, it was not considered to be a viable solution in the short term, given the network operations and route planning and logistics such as crew and other ancillary services that need advance planning.

It is a commercial matter for the airlines to decide to put on additional capacity at other airports.
