The High Court of Ireland has temporarily paused a decision by the Irish Aviation Authority (IAA) to limit passenger seats at Dublin Airport during the busy summer of 2024. This ruling, welcomed by airlines like Ryanair and Aer Lingus, allows for 25.2 million seats—about one million more than initially planned. The IAA’s caps were intended to adhere to a passenger limit established in 2007, but airlines argued that these restrictions threatened jobs and connectivity. The next hearing regarding the proposed caps is set for December, while the court’s stay is pending further orders.
