Westmeath Woman Loses €60k Dublin Airport Injury Claim Against DAA

The court heard Imelda Cox slipped on de-icer fluid on the airport apron after a KLM flight.

A Westmeath woman has lost a €60,000 personal injuries claim against airport operator DAA after a court ruled it was not liable for injuries she suffered while disembarking at Dublin Airport.

The Irish Independent is reporting that Judge Sinéad Ní Chúlacháin found that liability rested with the airline under the Montreal Convention, as the passenger was still in the process of disembarkation.

The court heard Imelda Cox slipped on de-icer fluid on the airport apron while being directed towards the terminal by airline staff after a KLM flight.

Her case against DAA was dismissed, and she was ordered to pay the airport operator's legal costs.
