Dublin airport has denied claims it will introduce drop-off and pick-up charges despite being given permission to do so by Ireland’s independent planning body.

Dublin airport was among the quickest to recover after the pandemic, ACI figures reveal

In 2021, the airport was reportedly granted permission to make the necessary road and infrastructure changes to introduce a new tolling system for motorists picking up or dropping off passengers at Terminal 1 and Terminal 2.

But in response to the claims made in local media reports, Dublin airport on Wednesday (22 March) said it has "no current plans" to introduce a new charging system.

According to The Irish Times, the airport previously stated commercial funds raised by the new system, if implemented, would be ring-fenced for sustainability initiatives.
