Cumbria County Council Serving the People Of
Cumbria County Council Information Governance Team Cumbria House 117 Botchergate Carlisle CA1 1RD T: 01228 221234 E: [email protected] E-mail: 23 March 2018 Your reference: Our reference: IG 00176 Dear FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT 2000 - DISCLOSURE The council has completed its search relating to your request for information about flights, which was received on 23 February 2018. The council does hold information within the definition of your request. Request I am writing to obtain information about flights your organisation, and any arms-length management organisations or arms-length bodies owned by your organisation, has paid for since 1 January 2015. Please include the following information: • The name of the airline used • The fare paid • The class of ticket (eg economy, premium economy, business, first) • The date • The port of departure • The port of arrival Please include flights that have been paid for directly as well as any flights staff or others have been reimbursed for. Response Attached is a summary of all the flights paid for by the Council from 2015 onwards that were booked through the Council’s travel supplier. We estimate that the cost of providing the requested information for transactions that relate to reimbursements would exceed the appropriate limit, specified in regulations for Local Government, of £450. To collate this information we would have to manually review reimbursement transactions to identify whether they were for flights. Since 01 January 2015 there are 2,089 lines of transactions and we estimate that it would take 5 minutes per line to locate, retrieve and extract the required information. -
Opening Statement, Lynne Embleton, CEO, Aer Lingus
Supplemental Aer Lingus Opening Statement to Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications Committee – 22nd June 2021 Introduction Thank you for the opportunity to engage - once again - with the Transport and Communications committee. I will assume you have read the Aer Lingus opening statement which was originally due to be delivered on 2nd June. On this basis I won’t read that statement but everything in it still stands. I would however like to briefly supplement it to highlight some specific issues that need to be addressed urgently. Stobart Stobart Air informed Aer Lingus on 11th June that they were ceasing to trade with immediate effect resulting in the cancellation of all Aer Lingus Regional flights operated by Stobart Air. Stobart attributed this decision to the continuing impact of the pandemic which has resulted in almost no flying since March 2020. Aer Lingus stepped in immediately to operate six routes until at least the end of August and arranged for BA City Flyer to operate four of the routes. The provision of this replacement schedule has ensured that all impacted customers due to travel in the immediate term were offered alternative travel arrangements. Aer Lingus also confirmed that we are ready to operate the Dublin / Kerry route, subject to an appropriate PSO arrangement being put in place and that we are actively exploring options that would enable the provision of a Dublin / Donegal service. Aer Lingus and other key stakeholders in the aviation sector have consistently warned that Ireland’s 15-month long implementation of the most restrictive travel policies in Europe without sector specific supports being provided, represented a critical risk to aviation jobs and to connectivity. -

Irish Aer Arann Renews Confidence in ATR Maintenance
Toulouse, 30 January 2014 Irish Aer Arann renews confidence in ATR maintenance Irish airline Aer Arann, operating regional air routes for Aer Lingus Regional, and the European regional aircraft manufacturer ATR have agreed to extend its existing Global Maintenance Agreement (GMA) covering the airline’s fleet of eight ATR 72-600s and two ATR 72-500 aircraft for five more years. The original contract was signed in 2007 with the introduction of the first ATR 72-500. Since then ATR has enjoyed a long term strategic partnership with Aer Arann. The airline reiterated their confidence in 2012 by agreeing to introduce eight new generation ATR 72-600s, which deliveries started in June this year. The GMA covers the complete maintenance of the ATR aircraft and includes services such as repair and overhaul of LRUs (Line Replaceable Units), parts provision, propellers and airframe maintenance and landing gear overhaul. Aer Arann will benefit from diverse pool supplies offering logistical and operational support to ensure the smooth running of its repairs. “Aer Arann are delighted to extend our Global Maintenance Agreement with ATR. ATR continue to deliver a Service Quality product that matches our goal and targets. We recently welcomed our sixth new ATR aircraft which has enabled Aer Arann to further expand our regional offering and to support the addition of new routes and frequencies on existing routes. Following the purchase of eight new ATR aircraft, Aer Arann launched two new routes between Dublin - Newcastle and Shannon - Bristol, as well as increased frequencies to Aberdeen, Bristol, Cardiff and Glasgow from Dublin and Manchester and Birmingham from Cork and Shannon”, Seán Brogan, Interim Chief Executive Officer of Aer Arann, said. -
SUBMISSION of MARTIN EVANS to the PUBLIC ACCOUNTS COMMITTEE of the NATIONAL ASSEMBLY for WALES - CARDIFF/ANGLESEY AIR SERVICE Background
SUBMISSION OF MARTIN EVANS TO THE PUBLIC ACCOUNTS COMMITTEE OF THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY FOR WALES - CARDIFF/ANGLESEY AIR SERVICE Background Martin Evans is a Visiting Fellow at the University of South Wales. In 2008, working with the Wales Transport Research Centre at the University and Halcrow, he undertook the first year monitoring report of the Cardiff/Anglesey air service on behalf of the Welsh Government. No further monitoring reports have been published by the Welsh Government. Introduction The possibility of Welsh internal air services was proposed in „The Future of Air Transport - Wales‟ White Paper published by the UK Department for Transport in 2003. A feasibility study was undertaken by The Welsh Government and published in the form of a consultation in 2004. The consultation document examined the feasibility of a number of different networks for Welsh internal air services and the level of investment required for the necessary infrastructure. There are no internal air routes in Wales that would be viable if operated on a commercial basis. The Welsh Government acquired the powers to fund internal air services under a Public Service Obligation (PSO) in the Transport (Wales) Act 2006. The conditions to be followed in funding a PSO route are set out in Article 16 of the Air Services Regulations 1008/2008 of the European Union. “3. The necessity and the adequacy of an envisaged public service obligation shall be assessed by the Member State(s) having regard to: a) the proportionality between the envisaged obligation and the economic needs of the region concerned; b) the possibility of having recourse to other modes of transport and the ability of such modes to meet the transport needs under consideration, in particular when existing rail services serve the envisaged route with a travel time of less than three hours and with sufficient frequencies, connections and suitable timings; c) the air fares and conditions which can be quoted to users; d) the combined effect of all air carriers operating or intending to operate on the route. -

Aer Lingus Monthly Traffic Statistics
Aer Lingus Group plc ISE: EIL1 LSE: AERL Traffic Statistics – April 2011 Dublin & London, 5 May 2011: Aer Lingus Group plc (“Aer Lingus”), today announced traffic statistics for the month of April 2011. The year-on-year comparison of Aer Lingus’ booked passenger numbers in April 2011 is impacted by two events. In April 2010, seven days of Aer Lingus’ operations were impacted by the closure of Irish and UK airspace and parts of European airspace due to ash clouds resulting from the eruptions of a volcano in Eyjafjallajoekull, Iceland. In addition, Easter 2011 occurred in April in 2011 whereas in 2010 the Easter holiday period commenced in the last week of March. Aer Lingus’ total booked passenger numbers in April 2011 were 822,000, an increase of 19.3% compared to April 2010. Short haul booked passengers were 750,000, a 19.8% increase on April 2010 while long haul booked passengers in April 2011 were 72,000, a 14.3% increase on April 2010. Aer Lingus’ booked load factor in April 2011 decreased by 4.9 points on April 2010 to 70.9%. Short haul booked load factor was 71.9%, a decrease of 5.1 points on April 2010, with capacity increasing by 27.6% due to the impact of the ash clouds in April 2010. Short haul load factor in April 2010 was inflated by customers disrupted due to the ash cloud re-booking their flights multiple times. Flown short haul load factor in April 2011 was 70.1%, which represents a decrease of 1.7 points on flown short haul load factor in April 2010. -
