"The submissions submitted set out in detail the plans for investment in facilities and services at Dublin Airport to ensure a great proposition for passengers and airport users," says the spokesperson.
"The additional submission to CAR takes into account changes in operating costs which are now necessary for the successful running of security at Dublin Airport in light of the rapidly accelerated recovery in international air travel which has exceeded all analysts’ expectations."
The daa spokesperson goes on to state that time, investment and additional human resources are requires to improve overall standards at the airport."Daa argues that delivering a high-quality airport experience cannot be achieved through a continuance of its ultra-low passenger charge which is unsustainable.
"Dublin Airport’s current passenger charge is already one of the lowest among its peers in Europe and this increase will still ensure that our charges remain among the lowest of any major European airport.
"CAR’s future determination of the price cap - the amount that airline customers are charged for the use of runways, terminals and the associated services provided by the airport authority - must take account of the current reality at Dublin Airport, which is experiencing its third year of Covid-19 related commercial and financial damage."
In something of a mixed bag of a week for Dublin Airport thus far, the airport has denied claims that 1,000 employees were made redundant during the pandemic. The statement arrived in response to a segment that aired on The Tonight Show on Virgin Media One on Monday. Elsewhere, as the daa reports on "significant improvements in passenger experience", at least 88 flights out of Dublin Airport have been cancelled in the last five days, with Covid outbreaks in airline staff among the chief factors in the cancellations.
