Major improvements planned at Dublin Airport to ease transfers for passengers
The number of passengers passing through Dublin on connecting services exceeded one million in a year, for the first time, in 2015. The figure is up 25% on 2014 and the airport wants to improve the experience of passengers and develop its reputation as an international hub.
A three-storey extension of 1,500 square metres will make for easier transfer of passengers arriving from so-called ‘first state’ countries. These are countries like the United States and members of the EU, whose security checks at the airport of origin meet standards required here, so they do not need to be screened again by security in Dublin before connecting to an onward flight.
