An injunction granted by Mr. Justice Barry O'Donnell allows airlines to extend the pause on a cap set by the Irish Aviation Authority (IAA) on passenger numbers at airports. This pause will remain in effect while the case is being adjudicated by both the High Court and the Court of Justice of the EU, which typically takes about 16 months to reach a decision. The IAA's cap aims to control landing slots, but major airlines argue it could lead to significant financial losses, prompting the court's intervention.
The Court of Justice of the EU (CJEU) has been asked to determine a number of issues in the case and it usually takes around 16 months before its decisions are delivered.
The IAA sets parameters bi-annually for the winter and summer seasons, with caps being placed on passenger numbers as a means of managing airport capacity.
