Dublin airport charges set to rise €1 to €8.35 per passenger

PASSENGER charges at Dublin Airport are set to rise by almost 13% next year based on proposed increases announced by the Commission for Aviation Regulation (CAR).

The new maximum levels determined by the CAR will see charges at Dublin Airport increase by almost €1 per passenger.

Travellers are set for more bad news as airport charges at Dublin are likely to increase even further from 2011 with the planned opening of T2 – the controversial second terminal – under a draft determination of maximum charges published by the CAR yesterday.
