Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

National Aviation Policy: Aer Lingus (Resumed)

Mr. Donal Moriarty:

I will deal with the crew base first. The Senator will recall that on a couple of occasions I have outlined the rationale for the removal of the crew base. That decision was a difficult one but was critical in terms of our ability to commit to and to resume our transatlantic services. From an economic perspective, that was critical. We cannot and will not review that decision because that would in effect undermine the commercial viability of the services we have reintroduced and would militate against the growth we plan.
