Passenger charge hike at Dublin Airport

The Aviation Regulator has proposed an increase of almost €1 in passenger charges at Dublin Airport.

The regulator's draft decision says the impact of the economic downturn means there are fewer passengers than expected from which to recover costs. Under the proposals, the charges would increase from €7.39 to €8.35, reports RTE.

Prices may have to rise further later next year to help pay for the second terminal at Dublin Airport.
