Dublin Airport's 'strained operations' to continue with flight cap not ruled out

Irish holidaymakers may be in for further chaos at Dublin Airport terminals after the chief executive of the Dublin Airport Authority said there could be a risk of a flight cap if it can’t cope with passenger numbers.Airports such as London’s Gatwick and Amsterdam’s Schiphol have restricted the number of flights that airlines can operate during the peak summer season.

The news comes after passengers at Dublin Airport experienced huge security delays last month, causing over 1,000 passengers to miss their flights. He said: “Dublin Airport entered 2022 with significantly diminished staffing capacity, some months ahead of the steepest rise in air travel in its history.”

Lost luggage has also become a concern after bags that were due to be delivered to passengers weeks ago appear to have been left stranded in the airport’s baggage hall.
