IAA confirms Dublin Airport summer seat cap

The IAA said not all slots from Summer 2024 will be capable of being accommodated next year

Airlines have warned that a cap will result in fewer routes from Dublin and higher fares.

The Irish Aviation Authority (IAA) has confirmed a summer cap of 25.2 million seats at Dublin Airport in line with its previous draft submission.

This decision makes Summer 2025 the second scheduling season to take account of the An Bord Pleanála 32m passenger cap. A cap of 4.1 million seats is in place for this winter.
