Dublin Airport boss says hike in charges can slash security wait times

Dublin Airport chief Kenny Jacobs said the security wait times at the airport can be slashed to 15 minutes on one condition.

Mr Jacobs said airport charges will have to be increased in order to cut down on the time it takes to go through security clearance. Currently, the maximum charge at Dublin Airport is €8.50.
