The High Court of Ireland has referred questions to the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) regarding the interpretation of EU law on airport slot allocation. The referral stems from judicial review proceedings challenging the Irish Aviation Authority's (IAA) decisions to impose passenger capacity limits at Dublin Airport, based on planning conditions that restrict annual passenger numbers. The central issue is whether such planning conditions can be considered "relevant constraints" under EU slot regulation. The High Court has postponed the hearing of the case pending the CJEU's determination, with the outcome set to clarify whether the IAA's coordination parameters, which could result in the non-allocation of certain slots, are permissible under EU law.
