Dublin Airport projects to surpass 32M annual passenger cap due to record August, with daa seeking 40M cap increase amid airline growth and resident environmental concerns.
Dublin Airport is projected to exceed its 32 million annual passenger cap this year, reaching nearly 33 million, driven by a record August. The cap, established in 2007, is viewed as outdated by the airport operator, daa, which has applied for permission to raise it to 40 million. Ryanair and other airlines are challenging the cap in court, arguing it restricts growth and tourism, while some local residents express concerns over environmental impacts.
