Decisions on legal challenges and planning applications will define 2025 for the aviation sector at least as much as their success in filling seats

Meanwhile, it intends to ask the council to raise the cap to 36 million within a few weeks. That will not involve the company seeking permission to build anything as it is an interim measure while the 40 million application goes through the planning system. That prompted the airlines to seek a review of the decision by the High Court, as they argued that the IAA should not take the planning condition into account when deciding how slots should be allocated. This triggered the ECJ referral. The cap conflicts with EU law on several fronts, including the bloc’s rules on how airport slots are allocated and member states’ obligations under air travel treaties with North America.
DAA is sceptical about the airport plan. Jacobs has told politicians several times that the site would not be suitable for a third terminal, should the State company ever decide that one is needed. The McEvaddys maintain that DAA’s own proposals are short-sighted. The airline estimated that the dispute cost it €55 million, not counting the unquantifiable loss of potential bookings during the industrial action or the damage that its reputation was likely to have suffered. More recent communications between the pilots’ union and management indicate that relations between the pair have thawed considerably.
US carriers are increasingly competing with Aer Lingus for business, which is at least good news for anyone who fancies a trip across the Atlantic in 2025. What was supposed to be a comeback year for Boeing turned into its worst stock-market plunge since 2008, with the shares down 35 per cent, placing it among the worst performers in the S&P 500 index.
