Dublin Airport expecting 120k passengers per day this summer
Around 120,000 passengers per day are expected to travel through Dublin Airport this summer. Air operator daa has said that it predicts it will be a record breaking summer for the airport with 10million people set to pass through the airport from June to August. More than 2,600 flights will depart from the airport from 43 different airlines. Recent feedback shows that passengers wanted more seating, food and drink choices along with a cleaner airport. Officials said that these issues have been addressed and improvements have been made for the busy holiday season. Security and Parking The aim is also to get people through security in under 20 minutes. However, there are different rules for different Terminals when it comes to whether liquids and technology stay in bags during security screening. In T2, passengers can keep the tech in their bags, but will have to take liquids out for scanning at security. Both tech and liquids will also have to be taken out in T1. Kenny Jacobs, daa CEO said that he's confident that "we're very, very close to a new ruling by the EU that liquids can stay in the bags". For those who are driving to the airport, the advice for passengers is to book in advance due to demand. Extra spaces made available by a private company have been welcomed. Sarah Ryan, Director of Communications with daa said it's "great news" that the Quick Park carpark has re-opened. "That's not operated by Dublin Airport but it is available so that does bring some extra capacity" she said. Changes There will be three new children entertainment areas at terminal one and two which brings the total number to five. Twenty three new water refill stations have been introduced and an additional one thousand seats in the terminals have been installed. Security staff numbers have also increased by more than one thousand. A new Dublin Airport App has also been launched which features real-time flight updates for arrivals and departures, security wait times and details about gate numbers and check-in areas. US Pre-Clearance Mr Jacobs said that the advice hasn't changed for US pre-clearance and passengers should arrive three hours before their transatlantic flight. He said that they have seen an increase in Europeans choosing to come through Dublin airport when flying to the United States. He indicated that this it may be for a short journey home for passengers if they are denied entry to the United States due to stricter border betting.
