Shinnners supporting Airport Taxis

[Bubba Ho-Tep]

Fn has 90% if the fleet at this stage
Airport would not  be a problem for them

Ya think ? There`s roughly space for 260/290 taxis atm between the ranks, the kesh and Mondello.  If FN or anyone else got airport, they`d be restricted by space as to how many taxis allowed, as it is currently. There`s no chance of any major change tothe  DAA taxi operations in the current climate of restricted air travel. Health and Safety and Landside operations @ DAP capped the permit numbers @ roughly 1500 around 2008/2010.  Allowing 8,000 taxis into DAP is a non runner.

Al fr have to do is pay someone to organise the que when ya drop off at t1 or 2

Doddle so. Sorta like the Green Caps are doing now except the Q would be at departures instead of arrivals.

[Bubba Ho-Tep]

Fn already have airport que on app al they have to do is transfer that que to kesh and charge a rate to drivers

Kesh and Mondello hold 260 cars. DAP car parks hold 12,000 cars.

The cops arrested two suspicious men in a car park today.

One was drinking battery acid and the other was eating fireworks.

They charged one and let the other one off.

Ultimatum on Dublin Airport taxi permits "unrealistic and unacceptable" - Darren O'Rourke TD
17 July, 2020 - by Darren O Rourke TD

Email Facebook Google+ Twitter
Dublin Airport Authority's insistence that taxi drivers renew their airport permits - despite the fact that the vast majority are on reduced or zero hours - is unreasonable and unacceptable, Sinn Féin spokesperson on Transport Darren O'Rourke TD has said.

He has called on the Authority to suspend the airport fee - which costs €440 per vehicle - until passenger numbers reach 2019 levels.

He said:

"Covid-19 has had a devastating impact on the taxi industry leaving many without work or on severely reduced hours. State support has been minimal but many overheads have remained.

"In addition to the range of issues affecting the industry, and which need immediate address by government and the NTA; such as licensing, NCT and vehicle suitability bureaucracies, airport taxis are now faced with an ultimatum from the Dublin Airport Authority (DAA).

"Their insistence that airport taxi drivers renew their airport permits by the end of August - at a cost of €440 per vehicle - and without the usual option of payment by instalment, is completely unrealistic and completely unacceptable.

"Passenger numbers at the airport are down in excess of 95%, meaning work for many taxi drivers has dried up. Drivers report an average four hour wait for a fare.

"The DAA must realise the financial strain that this has placed on taxi drivers. They should engage with industry representatives and, in response to the pandemic-induced circumstances, suspend the airport fee until passenger numbers have returned to 2019 levels.

"The taxi industry is in urgent need of dedicated support at this time. Government, the NTA and the DAA all have a role to play."

Fair play to the terrorists wanting to suspend the Airport pass Open it up to everybody than rents cars from their mates ,help pay the rental .

They've suggested an express service from the kesh to the ramp, it's called the 3 minute warning!

Just in:

DAA have announced that the permit fee due in August has been deferred and they will review the situation in September.

They also said that Dublin Airport is losing 1 million euro a day.

[dalymount]

Im reviewing the situation,is the CEOS name Fagan by any chance ?
