Dublin Airport to charge airlines less for running more environmentally friendly planes  

DAA introduced the first phase of its environmental charging strategy last year and already applies higher charges for noisier aircraft which operate at night

The DAA are proposing a 25% discount on all runway charges for airlines that operate the most environmentally friendly aircraft. 

Dublin Airport operator DAA have announced plans to cut runway charges for airlines that operate the quietest and most environmentally friendly aircraft in a bid to incentivise their uptake.

Under the current charges system, Dublin Airport’s runway movement charges come to €6.90 per tonne up to 175 tonnes and an additional €1.95 for every tonne after during the summer time. During the winter time, airlines are charged €2.50 per tonne.
