Fingal Chamber Welcomes Dublin Airport Night-Time Flight Permission

Fingal Chamber welcomes today’s decision by An Coimisiún Pleanála to grant planning permission for increased night-time flight operations at Dublin Airport, including the extended use of the North Runway between 6am and midnight.

This is a vital and positive step forward for Fingal, the wider Dublin region, and the national economy. Dublin Airport is a critical piece of infrastructure for Ireland Inc. - enabling trade, tourism, investment, and connectivity with the rest of the world. Its ability to operate efficiently and competitively, particularly in a 24/7 global economy, is essential to maintaining and growing our position as a dynamic and outward-looking nation.

The enhanced night-time capacity will support thousands of jobs, both directly and indirectly, and ensure that Ireland remains connected to key international markets. The implementation of a balanced noise quota system also demonstrates a responsible approach that takes account of the local community's needs.

We look forward to continuing to work in partnership with Dublin Airport and the wider business community to support sustainable growth and connectivity for our region and country.
