Irish Aviation Authority rules that there is merit to the matters raised by Michael O’Leary’s airline

Proposed airport charges in Dublin should be reviewed by the DAA, the Irish Aviation Authority (IAA) has said.

In September 2023, DAA, the operator of Dublin Airport, set out its proposed airport charges for March 2024 to March 2025 in a consultation document distributed to airport users.

In November 2023, Dublin Airport issued its decision paper on airport charges for 2024. Ryanair subsequently wrote to Dublin Airport on 4 December, alleging that its letters of 6 October and 27 October were unanswered by Dublin Airport, and that many of the consultation comments and questions were excluded from Dublin Airport’s “Summary of Consultation Responses” in Dublin Airports decision paper.

The airline claims that an alleged “deliberate decision to ignore Ryanair’s questions and comments” constitutes a breach of the transparency requirements under the 2011 regulations.
