Dublin Airport faces major capacity cuts as EU court adviser supports passenger cap

Ryanair warns Dublin Airport may cut capacity by 15 percent after an EU court adviser backed a passenger cap. The move could also impact flights to the U.S.

Insights:
Advocate General Campos Sanchez-Bordona has issued a non-binding opinion supporting the legal basis for a 32 million passenger-per-year cap at Dublin Airport, a move that intensifies the ongoing legal battle over capacity in Ireland IEIE. While the opinion is advisory and the final decision rests with the Court of Justice of the European Union (ECJ), the court often follows such recommendations. The imposition of the cap is currently suspended while the ECJ process continues, but the opinion signals potential challenges for the airport and its primary carriers.
