The Aviation Regulator has decided to leave passenger charges at Dublin Airport unchanged for the next two years.
It comes despite calls for an increase from the Dublin Airport Authority, which wants more money to fund the new terminal.
The regulator, Cathal Guiomard, said the DAA's financial situation had significantly improved because of larger-than-expected passenger growth.
He said the DAA would still be able to finance the €570m new terminal, despite charges remaining at €6.34 per passenger.
However, Mr Guiomard said passenger charges would increase after 2009 to help fund the new terminal.
Today's decision is a draft determination and a final decision will be known in the coming months.
