In a significant development for the travel industry, DAA, the operator of Dublin and Cork airports, has recommended a \u20ac31 million shareholder dividend to the State, marking a major milestone in the company’s recovery post-COVID.<\/span><\/p>\n

The announcement comes as DAA\u2019’s 2023 Annual Report and Accounts revealed a 37% improvement in passenger satisfaction scores at Dublin Airport, signalling a positive shift in the airport experience. Despite challenges such as cost headwinds, debt size, and loss of connectivity, DAA has demonstrated resilience and progress.<\/span><\/p>\n

With a record-breaking turnover of \u20ac1.018 billion, representing a 35% increase from 2022, and a profit after tax and exceptional items of \u20ac176 million for 2023, DAA\u2019s financial performance reflects a strong rebound from the impact of the pandemic.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kenny Jacob, DAA\u2019s CEO, emphasized the company’s commitment to delivering an improved airport experience and driving innovation and sustainability across its operations, signalling positive prospects for travellers in the post-COVID era.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, concerns were raised regarding the current growth limitations at Dublin Airport due to the terminal cap, leading to a loss of essential connectivity as airlines prioritize growth at hubs outside Ireland.<\/span><\/p>\n

Despite these challenges, DAA’s remarkable recovery and strategic vision position the company to play a pivotal role in reviving travel and connectivity, fueling optimism for travellers as the industry charts a path toward recovery and growth<\/span><\/p>\n
