Dublin Airport is in a dispute with Fingal County Council over its passenger cap, set at 32 million a year due to previous legislation. The DAA has submitted a new application to lift this cap based on existing infrastructure, claiming it is crucial for Ireland's connectivity and tourism. A separate major application for expansion to allow 40 million passengers could take years to approve. Meanwhile, recent passenger numbers show a slight decline despite high demand, prompting concerns that the cap limits potential growth in the sector.
Dublin Airport, currently capped at 32 million passengers annually, aims for a swift planning solution to boost connectivity, tourism, and the Irish economy.
The DAA expressed hope that the new application will efficiently navigate the planning process to address the cap issue affecting Ireland's connectivity and economy.
