Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 17 February 2009
274 Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Transport if he is satisfied that airport handling costs at all airports here are competitive and in keeping with the needs of the economic climate; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [6187/09]
View answerAirport charges at Dublin airport are subject to independent regulation by the Commission for Aviation Regulation with a view to ensuring that charges are maintained at competitive levels. While other airports are not subject to regulation, in setting charges all airports have to take account of the highly competitive nature of the aviation market in order to attract and retain airlines.
