Dublin Airport is about to get a €10 million upgrade

Terminal 2 has been getting all the love in recent years. Now it’s Terminal 1’s turn.

Dublin Airport will invest €10 million to upgrade the arrivals hall and the façade of Terminal 1 over the coming months. New flooring, a replacement ceiling and the removal of desks currently situated in some window areas to allow natural light in are amongst a number of proposed changes to give the Arrivals Hall a brighter, more spacious and modern look. All restaurants will be located in one area while services such as the Tourist Information Office, Bus, Travel and the Information Desk will be grouped together making the floor layout more user friendly and intuitive for customers. News of renovations to Terminal 1 follow on from the revelation that a new €320 million runway is set to be built at Dublin Airport, creating 1,200 jobs in the process. Dublin Airport’s Managing Director, Vincent Harrison said the Arrivals Hall will look very different. “We are upgrading Terminal 1 on a phased basis and we have already enhanced the Departures Floor. We are now turning our attention to the Arrivals Hall. Our goal is to greatly improve the overall look and feel for our customers,” Harrison said. The upgrade to Terminal 1, which is 44 years old, is due to be completed in the coming months.
