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

10:00 am

Mr. Ronan Gallagher:

Those are already in place. The Senator mentioned the €10 departure charge in Knock. That is the charge. In Dublin those charges are regulated. The charge in Dublin is of the order of €10. That €10 per passenger charge pays for new terminals, new runways and additional services. That is in place and is regulated by the economic regulator. The additional charge that will fall on the DAA – I use that as an example because it has the greatest number of passengers – will fall into that regulatory assessment, which happens on a five year basis. In the context of all the other costs associated with Dublin Airport this would be extremely marginal and therefore I would speculate that it will not have any material cost in the regulated economic decision but that is a matter for the Commission for Aviation Regulation, CAR.
