Good news because Dublin Airport is about to get a very welcome upgrade

She'll be looking well.

The Departures floor in Dublin Airport’s Terminal 1 is set to be replaced as part of a €10 million upgrade project. Parts of the floor have been upgraded several times over the past four decades but in some areas the original tiling was still in place. Other improvements to the Departures floor include the removal of ticket desks to create more light and space.The project is part of an overall programme to modernise Terminal 1 and enhance the overall passenger experience. Dublin Airport’s Managing Director, Vincent Harrison said this final piece of work will see a significant improvement in the Departures area. “Terminal 1 is 44 years old and has welcomed over 400 million passengers during that time.This new, brighter floor tile will significantly improve the look and feel of the Departures area. With the Arrivals Hall upgrade well under way, our goal is to create a greatly enhanced passenger experience for all our customers travelling through Terminal 1,” he said. The Departures Floor upgrade project will involve the phased temporary closure of airline check-in desks, with some check-in facilities being moved for a time to check-in area 14, which is located in the lower ground floor of T1 below the Arrivals Hall. The first phase of this work starts today Monday with the closure of check-in desks 6, 7 and 8, along with some ticket desks, and limited access through Departures door 1.
