'Passenger advice remains under constant review and DAA looks forward to reducing the advised arrival times when the time is right.

'That's causing a level of congestion at check-in and bag drop that would be unnecessary if those recommendations weren't in place.'

'The advice from the airport for passengers to turn up 2.5 hours before departure for a short-haul flight and 3.5 hours before departure for a long-haul flight is remaining problematic for us,' Embleton said.
