In 2019, we will make a new determination on the maximum level of airport charges (the price cap) at Dublin Airport, for a period of 4 plus years, commencing on the 1 January 2020. It will replace the 2014 Determination which set maximum charges between 2015 and 2019.

The 2019 Determination will be made against a backdrop of four years of extraordinary growth in aviation in Ireland. Dublin Airport is a major international airport, the eleventh busiest in the EU, as of January 2018, with almost 200 destinations served by over 50 airlines.

Timeline

We expect to publish a Final Determination in Autumn 2019, most likely around the end of September. Our Final Determination will be informed by the submissions we receive from the public consultation on our Draft Determination. The deadline for responses to the public consultation of the Draft Determination is 5:00 PM, 8 July 2019. 

Our Draft Determination was informed by the submissions we recieved after the public consultation of the Issues Paper published in April 2018. In July 2018, we received five responses, from Aer Lingus, Dublin Airport, IALPA, IATA and Ryanair which are published below. 

This page will contain all documentation in relation to the 2019 Determination on the maximum level of Airport Charges at Dublin Airport.
