Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 19 November 2020
122. Deputy Neale Richmond asked the Minister for Transport the number of commercial flights that arrived here by airport for each month to date in 2020; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [37709/20]
Amharc ar fhreagraI would like to advise that Deputy that my Department does not collect this data.
The Department publishes a Quarterly Aviation Statistics Snapshot which gives headline statistics on passenger numbers at our airports for the previous quarter. The CSO Annual Aviation Statistics remain the official source of passenger and flight statistics, with the Department's quarterly snapshot supplementing that release to provide information on the most recent trends.
In the Quarterly Aviation Statistics Snapshot, the Department provides the number of commercial movements at each airport. This number does not indicate how many commercial flights arrived at the airports but is a block figure for total commercial movements at the airport each month. This information is available on the Department website https://www.gov.ie/en/collection/0e1fd9-dttas-quarterly-aviation-statistics-snapshot/
