Delays at Dublin Airport - Statement from the Irish Aviation Authority 18:30
The Irish Aviation Authority (IAA) can confirm that it has increased its operational capacity at Dublin Airport to 80 per cent from 1900hrs this evening.
In the interest of safety, the IAA will continue to take an incremental approach towards operating the system at full capacity.
The cause of the problem has been identified and a comprehensive evaluation process by the system suppliers, Thales ATM, is ongoing.
The Irish Aviation Authority regrets the inconvenience caused to our customers and the travelling public for the continuing restrictions arising from a technical problem with its air traffic control system at Dublin Airport.
The IAA acknowledges the support of the airlines, the Dublin Airport Authority and the IAA's operational staff during the disruption to flights.
