Second terminal in Dublin reaches major milestone

The first elements of the steel frame for Dublin Airport’s new passenger terminal T2 were erected today.

Workers have started to build the steel frame of the new T2 baggage hall at the northern end of the construction site close to the existing passenger terminal at Dublin Airport. The start of steelworks is a major milestone in the construction of the €395m new terminal and marks the beginning of a new phase of the project.

“This is another hugely significant step on the road to delivering T2 on time and on budget,” said Dublin Airport Authority (DAA) chief executive Declan Collier. “This project is the cornerstone of a €2 billion investment programme to radically improve the passenger experience at Dublin Airport and I am happy to see it progressing on schedule,” Mr Collier added.
