AIG overstates net income for past five years by €3.1bn

THE Commission for Aviation Regulation (CAR) has proposed increasing Dublin Airport charges for airlines by up to 40% per passenger.

The increase would hike the charge per passenger from 5.09 to 7.05 and is likely to result in dearer airline tickets.

Other charges of €5.94 and €6.57 have also been suggested in the review, which will be open to a period of consultation with the industry. The proposed charges were outlined in Dublin yesterday by the aviation regulator, Bill Prasifka.
