The body said today that 51,000 additional seats on flights into Ireland would be available each week compared with summer 2005.
The number of seats available from Spain, France and Italy is set to increase by just over 16,000, while the number available from Britain and the US will be up by around 12,000 and 2,500 respectively.
For the first time ever, 1,500 seats will also be available from the Middle East every week.
