Daa labels Limerick Chamber 'misguided' over remarks on airport passenger caps

Business group claims retaining the cap on passenger numbers for Dublin Airport at 32 million would result in more flights moving to regional airports

Limerick Chamber has said existing capacity at other regional airports should be utilised in advance of increasing Dublin Airport's capacity limit. 

Dublin Airport operator Daa has called Limerick Chamber “misguided” for suggesting limiting its passenger capacity at Dublin Airport would result in more flights moving to regional airports.

The business group recently wrote to Fingal County Council laying out a number of observations around Daa's latest planning application, which would allow it to increase Dublin Airport’s capacity from 32 million passengers a year to 40 million.
