Airlines face fines if they ignore laws proposed to avoid flight congestion
An expected change in the airport’s status this summer could result in airlines facing a €5,000 fine for every flight which fails to take off within a designated time period.
The Commission for Aviation Regulation (CAR) is expected to announce shortly that Dublin Airport will be designated a “slot co-ordinated airport” in order to avert the threat of major congestion and flight delays over the summer.
