The owner and operator of Dublin Airport says it is suspending bookings for its "platinum services" package in a bid to "optimise resources" in the wake of lengthy delays at the airport in recent weeks.

Platinum services at the airport offered VIPs "personalised treatment" at a private terminal, with private check-in, private security screenings, private suites with a luxury shower room, complementary snacks and refreshments, and a chauffeur-driven car to their flights.
