The chief executive of Dublin Airport operator daa has warned that the passenger cap at the airport will cost jobs next year and the year after, while it awaits a planning decision on increasing it from the current 32 million a year to 40 million.
Kenny Jacobs said daa, which operates Dublin and Cork airports, wished that the cap didn't exist, but will continue to comply with it.
He said airlines and airports around the world"do not get" why Ireland has a cap and some airlines have already decided not to apply for slots as they won’t get them. The plan includes a range of commitments, including that at least 90% of passengers would clear security screening in under 20 minutes, the increased use of new C3 scanners, higher customers service standards and improved food and drink choices.
