Dublin Airport to Lower Charges for More Fuel-Efficient Airlines

Dublin Airport have announced a range of new financial incentives for airlines operating lower emission aircraft.

The airport has said it will cut runway charges by a quarter for airlines that qualify.

The move will benefit airlines with younger, more fuel-efficient aircraft with Ryanair being among the main beneficiaries.

Other airlines that will benefit from the scheme include Aer Lingus who will be taking delivery of new aircraft that it can use on its network to the United States, while Qatar Airways operates a fuel efficient A350 jet on its services from Dublin.

In a statement, the DAA said: "Airlines operating at Dublin Airport are projected to achieve discounts on published aeronautical charges in excess of EUR 30 million this year."
