The Irish Aviation Authority (IAA) has said it will not propose any seat cap for Dublin Airport's winter schedule, confirming that it "is not to take account" of certain planning conditions which limit the combined capacity of Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 to 32m annual passengers.

Publishing its draft decision on the airport's winter capacity, the IAA said it will follow the advice of the Coordination Committee, comprising Dublin Airport, AirNav Ireland and airlines operating at Dublin Airport, through implementing its ‘Wishlist’ hourly runway capacity limits.
