Daa expects European courts to resolve Dublin Airport passenger limit issue 

Daa chief said he expected the issue of the passenger cap at Dublin Airport to be resolved in the Court of Justice of the European Union over the next year rather than through the planning process

Dublin Airport Authority chief executive Kenny Jacobs: Planning 'takes a long time and there are no deadlines'.  

The chief executive of Daa has said he expects the issue of the passenger cap at Dublin Airport to be resolved in the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) over the next year rather than through the planning process which “takes a long time”.

This comes as Daa released figures confirming Dublin Airport breached its passenger cap of 32 million last year, with 33.3 million passengers travelling through its terminals. For the year, Daa generated revenues of €1.1bn — up from €1bn in 2023.
