@DublinAirport Boston, New York & Chicago are the three busiest transfer routes from @DublinAirport.
@julianoneill BA and @AerLingus boss Willie Walsh backs Stormont setting up a fund to attract new air routes: “Without question it will be an advantage.”
@Steph_Beasley Airlines in charge of air traffic control would equal fox in control of the chicken coup, says @NBAA. #AIRRAct #ATCprivatization.

@tohmavis Came across Willie Walsh’s famous quote: “A reasonable man gets nowhere in negotiations”. Food for thought.
