The Dublin Airport Authority (DAA) has gone to the High Court in protest at the maximum level of passenger airport charges the aviation commission says it can charge at Dublin Airport.

DAA has lodged two sets of proceedings against the Commission for Aviation Regulation (CAR), one of which is a judicial review of the commission’s most recent decision regarding charges, published on December 23 last.
