The idea of introducing 'aviation quotas' for people is not practical for an island nation, according to Eoghan Corry.
He said this quota or ration could be the equivalent of a return flight from Dublin to Paris in a year.Eoghan told"It's something that the aviation industry has to adress, it's something that society has to address," he said.
"We can reduce emissions straight away - it's quite interesting some of the very obvious ways of doing so, aviation emissions, aren't being addressed. "We have 27 different Air Traffic Control systems, operating for the different European countries," he said."Out of that comes issues like the Heathrow stacks, hub airports [and] the holding patterns that aircraft are in."The Irish Government should be engaging in this a little bit more.
