Aer Lingus has sharply criticised the decision by An Bord Pleanála to further restrict night-time flights at Dublin Airport, describing the proposed new limits as “unworkable”.

The airline said it has commenced a “detailed review” of Monday’s decision by the planning agency, but said its initial impressions are less than positive.
