Ryanair calls on daa to ensure anti-drone technology is in place ahead of Easter weekend

Ryanair has called on Eamon Ryan and the daa to ensure that anti-drone equipment is in place for Easter to prevent planes being unable to fly.

The airline have put pressure on the Minister for Transport and the daa to confirm that anti-drone technology, which was recently purchased due to flight disruptions at Dublin airport in January, will be in operation for the bank holiday weekend.

A spokesperson for Ryanair said: "Eamon Ryan promised to protect passengers with anti-drone equipment, so he must now confirm that this equipment is in place and fully operational at Dublin Airport in advance of the busy Easter holidays, so that Irish passengers and visitors and their families will not suffer any more closures/disruptions due to illegal drone activity at Dublin Airport.”
