flag Dublin Airport’s ad claiming to halve emissions was ruled misleading by Ireland’s ad watchdog, as it only covered airport operations, not flights.

flag Dublin Airport Authority (DAA) must revise a radio ad claiming to halve "airport emissions," as the Advertising Standards Authority of Ireland (ASAI) ruled the wording was misleading. flag The complaint, led by MEP Lynn Boylan, argued the phrase suggested broader aviation emissions were being reduced, when the cuts only applied to DAA’s direct operations—like ground vehicles and solar energy—excluding aircraft emissions. flag DAA maintained the term was accurate and aligned with national climate goals, stating the ad was informational, not promotional. flag The ASAI upheld the complaint for the radio version only, recommending clearer language to avoid public confusion, while acknowledging DAA’s commitment to sustainability.
