Darren Moloney, managing director at Sky Handling Partner , told the committee the ground handling firm has 2,897 lost bags at Dublin Airport that need to be reunited with their owners. Aer Lingus has around 1,200 lost bags at the airport, with the ability to process 700 bags a day and around 450 new bags arriving daily, the committee heard.

“But it means that it’s like trying to climb a sand dune at the moment in Dublin – as soon as we start to make some progress through baggage, another aircraft could come in missing 60 bags or missing all of its bags, potentially.” Representatives of Aer Lingus, DAA, Swissport and SHP appeared before the committee on Tuesday to answer questions about problems passengers have experienced.

SkyHandling What about hiring more staff to handle this mess?
