EconPanel2020 - Creation of panel to advise the Commission for Aviation Regulation on price regulation and other economic issues

The Commission for Aviation Regulation (CAR) regulates airport charges at Dublin Airport. It invites expressions of interest from economic consultants that would like to be on a general panel from which tenders will be invited to assist the CAR in its role as an economic regulator. This panel will last until 30 April 2020. During this period, some of the projects the Commission will be working on include: • Interim review of the 2014 Determination (limited scope) • Participation in the government’s review of economic regulation of Irish airports • Setting policy for the next price control period • Benchmarking exercises • Making a determination of airport charges to apply from 2020 onwards Examples of the types of work that we may seek include: • Assessing the relative and absolute efficiency of the airport at managing operating expenditure • Assessing the costs of proposed capital expenditure plans • Forecasting future demand • Advising on an appropriate cost of capital • Benchmarking of costs or charges • Reporting on the practices of other regulators.
