Aviation Airlines likely considering legal action against airport slot process, DAA warns
Airlines operating at Dublin Airport are likely to mount legal challenges against the slot process in a desperate bid to continue growing, the head of the DAA has warned. Kenny Jacobs, chief executive of the semi-state airport operator, said a number of airlines are likely considering legal action against the slot system in a bid to add more flight capacity to Dublin airport, which is currently curtailed by the 32 million passenger cap.
The airport’s slot process is governed by the Irish Aviation Authority , which regulates the airline industry and allocates landing slots at the airport. There is currently a 32 million passenger cap at the countries busiest airport. Last December the DAA applied to Fingal county council to increase the cap to 40 million passengers, however, a decision on the planning application is not expected until 2025.
