Dublin Airport Cap Finally Lifted | Global News

Dublin Airport’s 32 million passenger cap is officially gone after Ireland’s president signed new legislation, ending a long-standing limit that’s frustrated airlines and been suspended by court. The transport minister, pushing to treat Dublin as Ireland’s main international hub, says the move boosts the economy — even as environmental groups and some locals worry about emissions and congestion.

With night flights approved and environmental reviews underway, this is a major shift — and the debate over economy vs. environment is far from over.
