US government decision on Dublin Airport passenger cap due May 6

rte.ie

The US Department of Transportation faces a May 6 deadline to act on a complaint regarding Dublin Airport's passenger cap, potentially leading to retaliatory measures. Airlines argue the cap violates the EU-US Open Skies Agreement. Ireland is drafting legislation to permanently remove the cap, but its September enactment may be too late for airline declarations. US action could restrict Aer Lingus transatlantic flights, increase airfares, and force passengers to use other European hubs for US travel.
