Rental fees for check-in desks at Dublin Airport have been increased to €25,000 a year, the Commission for Aviation Regulation has decided.
There is also an increase in the hourly desk rental charge to €30.
In applying for the increase, the Dublin Airport Authority submitted a detailed breakdown of the actual cost per desk, which it estimated at €66,600. After careful analysis the Commission disallowed certain elements of the cost base and reassessed the cost per desk at €54,585.
Despite the reduction in the assessed costs per desk, the Commission concluded that the approved annual fee of €25,000 per desk remains significantly below cost.
