Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 17 October 2006
443 Mr. Eamon Ryan asked the Minister for Transport when the Commission for Aviation Regulation’s decision on the Dublin Airport Authority’s appeal against a maximum cap on passenger services charges at Dublin Airport is expected. [32835/06]
View answerThe setting of passenger service charges at airports is the responsibility of the Commission for Aviation Regulation (CAR). The Commission published an airport charges determination on 29th September 2005. The Dublin Airport Authority appealed the determination on a number of grounds and as a result I established an aviation appeal panel on the 9th February 2006 under the Aviation Regulation Act, 2001. As a result of the appeal process the Aviation Appeal Panel referred the determination back to CAR for review. In June 2006 CAR varied its original determination and increased the airport charge at Dublin Airport from €6.14 to €6.34 per passenger.
