Aviation authority proposes summer seat limit for flights into Dublin

Dublin Airport has an annual passenger limit of 32m and its operator Daa expects to breach that cap later this year

Under planning restrictions, Dublin Airport is limited to managing 32m passengers a year. 

The Irish Aviation Authority (IAA) has recommended a limit to the number of seats on flights into Dublin Airport during the busy summer period next year for the airport to comply with its passenger limitation.

Under its 2007 planning permission, Dublin Airport has an annual passenger limit of 32m. Dublin Airport operator Daa has already announced that it expects to breach that cap later this year.
