Dublin Airport’s €450m revamp to start within weeks

PASSENGERS at the congested Dublin Airport will see the benefit of €450 million of improvements as early as next year, airport bosses said last night.

Airport authorities plan to start work within weeks on a €55m extension to terminal one, which handles 23 million passengers a year.

“We are expecting permission from An Bord Pleanála by the middle of this month and once we get it, work should start within two to four weeks,” said airport spokesman Paul O’Kane last night.
