Dublin Airport warned over passenger cap breach
Dublin Airport has been issued with a warning over breaching its passenger cap. A 32 million passenger cap, a planning condition issued by the airport's local authority, has come under legal and political scrutiny. Advertisement Airlines, including Ryanair and Aer Lingus, have called for the cap to be removed to promote economic and tourism growth, while others have said that Ireland's efforts to reduce its emissions will be hampered by lifting the restriction. Fingal County Council said on Friday it had issued an enforcement notice to airport operator DAA, giving it two years to comply with the planning conditions. A spokesperson for Fingal County Council said: 'The two-year period provides an opportunity for DAA to progress their planning applications to increase passenger capacity at Dublin Airport or take such other steps as they consider appropriate to achieve compliance.' Planning permissions granted in 2008 for the construction of Terminal 2 and the extension of Terminal 1 stated that the combined capacity of both terminals must not exceed 32 million passengers a year. Advertisement The council received complaints that these planning conditions were breached in 2023 and 2024. The planning authority's enforcement unit initiated a formal investigation to assess compliance with the conditions. The DAA was provided with an opportunity to respond, which it did. Fingal County Council said it acknowledged there were 'operational complexities', but said the information submitted by the DAA does not constitute sufficient grounds to prevent further action. Advertisement The council said the investigation determined that a breach of the relevant planning conditions 'has occurred and remains ongoing'. As a result, the enforcement notice was issued to the airport by Fingal County Council, giving Dublin Airport two years to bring its operations into compliance.

Fighter jets scrambled to Brit TUI flight to Lanzarote after terrifying bomb threat note is found in toilet
Some passengers tried texting family to let them know about what was happening TUI TERROR PANIC Fighter jets scrambled to Brit TUI flight to Lanzarote after terrifying bomb threat note is found in toilet Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) HOLIDAYMAKERS were left terrified after a bomb threat note was found on a Brit TUI flight from Cardiff to Lanzarote - forcing fighter jets to scramble. Cheryl Sainsbury, 43 and her pals, from Pontypridd, were all smiles en route to the Canaries - until the pilot made a chilling mid-air announcement.

Cheryl said: "We were sort of looking at each other thinking 'what's he on about'? "We were all scared but there was no sense of panic as such on board. Everybody seemed to come together and just looked out for each other. We all wanted to make sure everyone was ok." Everyone was told to remain in their seats. The crew searched under the seats and in the overhead lockers to check that all the luggage was accounted for. Cheryl said: "I think they were looking for a black rucksack." Passengers reportedly tried to message loved ones to tell them what was happening as they anxiously waited for updates from the cabin crew. The group initially thought someone had phoned in a bomb threat - only later did they learn a handwritten note was found by a crew member in one of the aircraft's toilets. The pilot then announced a risk assessment had been done and the threat was deemed low, meaning the plane would no longer be landing earlier in Portugal. But for everyone's safety, two Portuguese fighter jets escorted the plane to its destination of Arrecife in Lanzarote. 6 The plane safely landed in Cesar Manrique airport in Lanzarote Credit: Alamy 6 Lanzarote is a popular holiday destination for Brits Credit: Getty Harrowing moment plane comes terrifyingly close to helicopter as it takes off at airport Cheryl said: "Once we landed on the ground, it was the biggest celebration and sense of relief. "We were taken to a remote part of the airport and there were police and fire engines surrounding the plane. We had to get off one-by-one." The group then had to wait for the emergency services on the ground to check through the luggage before they were allowed to leave. Cheryl explained: "We had to stand on the tarmac with all the luggage but we weren't allowed to touch of any of it. "They brought sniffer dogs and the bomb squad so we just had to stand their and watch before they let us on the bus. "We got taken to some form of compound where there were no refreshments and just one toilet. "We just had to wait their until they had approval from the police to let us go to get back to the normal part of the airport where we could go through immigration and collect our cases." The friends are now unwinding in Lanzarote with a drink or two to help 'settle their nerves' after the ordeal. They are due to fly back home on Sunday - and are hoping that flight will be less eventful. Cheryl said: "It was such a weird experience especially as I'm a quite anxious flyer so I don't know how we did it. Even though we were all scared, we just stuck together and tried to keep it calm." She added that the cabin crew from TUI remained calm and were "brilliant" with all the passengers. Specialists from the GEDEX (Explosives Deactivation Group), the Fiscal and Border Section, investigation units and citizen security patrols all intervened, as reported by The Sun on Thursday. The inspection found no explosive device on board. Flight BY6422 landed at Lanzarote airport at around 10.55am on Thursday. A spokesperson for Cardiff Airport said: 'We are aware of an incident involving flight TOM6422 from Cardiff to Lanzarote on 19/06/25. "The safety of our passengers is our number one priority. No concerns or suspicious activity were raised prior to departure.' Spain's Civil Guard has launched an investigation to determine who wrote the note. The force stressed that this type of act is a serious crime, as it causes alarm, compromises public safety and forces specialised resources to be used. TUI has been contacted for comment.

Ryanair hits back at couple who were booted off flight after a ‘hack' went wrong
RyanAir has issued a scathing remark to a couple who complained about being booted off a flight after not paying to reserve a seat. Scott McCormick and his girlfriend, Helena Boshwick, 33, were due to fly from Birmingham Airport on May 1 to Palma de Mallorca, Spain, for a week-long holiday and gym-mentorship event (Picture: PA) The 33-year-old said they had not paid to reserve seats, which typically costs between £4.50 and £33 per seat, because it was a short two-hour flight and they didn't mind if they didn't sit together. Everything went as normal, and the couple were first in the boarding queue when a Ryanair staff member asked them to step aside while the rest of the passengers boarded – and there was only one seat onboard (Picture: iStock/Getty) The pair protested and were eventually put on the next flight together, but not without Ryanair making a joke of the situation. Posting online, the airline wrote: 'Today is a good day to separate couples onboard.' The cheeky remark has garnered tens of thousands of likes and thousands of comments (Picture: Kennedy News) One commenter said: 'You are the reason I only fly with you when I travel with my wife!' Despite the airline's seemingly joking take on the situation, Scott and his girlfriend said they will never fly the budget airline ever again. Scott said there was 'no compassion or care' when they tried to sort out the issue, until they were told both tickets would be reimbursed if they went on the next flight together (Picture: Kennedy News/@ The couple reportedly had to fork out another £100 for the new ticket and waited around four hours to board the next flight to Palma. Scott said he will now avoid flying with Ryanair due to the staff's lack of compassion and empathy. While a Ryanair staff member reportedly told the couple that a refund would be processed for one of the tickets, Scott claims he has still not received it or heard from the company (Picture: Kennedy News/@ A Ryanair spokesperson said: 'This flight from Birmingham to Palma de Mallorca (1 May) was not 'overbooked' – it was scheduled to operate on a 737-8200 (197 seats) but for operational reasons had to be swapped to a 737-800 aircraft (189 seats). 'Mr McCormick's travel companion was not refused boarding but chose not to board and travel on this flight from Birmingham to Palma de Mallorca and was required to pay a Missed Departure fee (£100) to be booked onto the next available flight' (Picture: Kennedy News/@ They added: 'Mr McCormick was notified by email on the day of travel (1 May) that he was entitled to claim back reasonable receipted expenses, however Mr. McCormick has yet to submit any expense receipts to Ryanair' (Picture: Getty)
