The chief executive of Aer Lingus, Lynne Embleton, said she’s hopeful that a new government after this month’s general election will quickly address the issue of the controversial 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.
