The Irish High Court stayed the Irish Aviation Authority (IAA) capping capacity at Dublin Airport (DUB) to 25.2 million seats for the 2025 summer schedule.

The stay order will grant airlines, including Aer Lingus and Ryanair, more time to possibly remove the passenger cap at Dublin Airport.

Ireland’s High Court has agreed to pause the implementation of Dublin Airport’s passenger cap for summer 2025, after airlines Ryanair Holdings Plc and Aer Lingus made an urgent application to the court saying it would negatively impact their access to slots.
