"Hopefully a new government will look seriously at the passenger cap," she said on Friday as Aer Lingus owner IAG released third quarter results. "It does damage the Irish economy and it does need to be resolved," she added.
Ms Embleton said that IAA proposal "conflicted" with European slot regulations and Aer Lingus' historic slot rights. This conflict raises concerns about the feasibility of the IAA's plans.
The High Court decision was an "important step" in resolving the passenger cap issue but that there is potentially a "long road" ahead in achieving a final outcome.
She said the stay will allow Aer Lingus to tweak its schedule for next summer, by improving flight timings, for instance.
