Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

General Scheme of the Irish Aviation Authority (Amendment) Bill 2017: Discussion

10:00 am

Mr. Ronan Gallagher:

As I mentioned earlier, there is an economic regulator who sets a cap on the total amount the airport can charge passengers using the airport. Within that determination there are performance targets for queuing times and other matters such that if the airport authority fails to meet them it is fined. There are inbuilt incentives for the airport to perform to its best for the customer. This additional cost on Dublin, and it is not just on Dublin, is so small in relative terms that I cannot see in any material way how it would filter down in any noticeable way to the customer.
