Great news for passengers…
Dublin Airport opened a new €16 million facility on Monday aimed specifically at passengers who transferring from one flight to another in the airport.
The new three-story facility, built adjacent to Pier 4 close to Terminal 2, comprises of airline information desks, boarding card checkpoints and immigration and customs facilities for transfer passengers to complete a one-stop flight connection process.
The new building will allow the airport to cater to four times more connecting passengers than it can currently handle and airport officials believe it will greatly increase the airport’s ability to act as a base for traffic between Europe and North America.
“We have been growing Dublin Airport as a connecting gateway between Europe and North America steadily over the past five years and this new transfer facility will help us to further expand that business,” Dublin Airport Managing Director Vincent Harrison said.
The increase in transfer capacity allows Dublin Airport to expand its transfer offering and according to airport officials, it will “significantly enhance” the overall passenger experience for passengers in the airport.
The facility is part of a 100 million investment programme in the airport this year.
