Planning proposals to be submitted by Dublin Airport Authority to Final County Council on December 15 will include:
- a new extended pier one in the north apron in T1 for Ryanair flights
- a new pier five for transatlantic flights. Where passengers go through T2 duty free now turn right to go to the gates they will be able to turn left to a new pier.
- C3 security machines added in T1 and T2
- A new mezzanine floor upstairs in T1 to start off with security but then accommodating fast track and a new lounge.
- a new underpass giving vehicles access to the west side of the airport
- a new apron drainage infrastructure
- more public transport infrastructure on landside, parking and car hire facilities
Mr Jacobs told the OIreachtas transport committee: “we are moving facilities that are on the southern side of the airport complex to facilitate growth around Terminal 2 and more gates being constructed there in the short to medium-term future.”
“There is a whole new pier that will be constructed that Aer Lingus aand other transatlantic carriers close to the current cargo operations. That will be the extra stands, an extra pier, extra capacity to be able to offer airlines the ability for us to do much more transatlantic flights.”
