Authority disputes ‘no-fly zone’ claims
The Association of European Airlines (AEA) said airline traffic in Ireland will go into free-fall because of the €10 travel tax and decision by the Irish Aviation Authority to increase navigation charges.
The AEA said the IAA is planning to increase the fees it charges its airline customers by 17% next year. However, the IAA has strongly disputed this saying that it had initially planned such an increase but it now accepts that such a hike could not be sustained by the airlines.
