Aer Lingus membership fee to IATA
The Government pays no IATA subvention; Aer Lingus pays a membership fee based on mileage and airline size. The Minister declined to provide the amount, saying it was a matter between the airline and IATA.
asked the Minister for Transport the amount of the Irish subvention to IATA in 1980; and the basis of the calculation for this contribution.

The International Air Transport Association — IATA — is a non-Governmental body whose membership is confined to airlines. The Irish Government do not therefore pay any subvention to the association but Aer Lingus, who are longstanding members, pay an annual membership fee. The amount of such fee is a matter between the air company and IATA.

I would rather not. I do not have the information but I am aware that it is based on mileage and depends on the size of the airline.
