Up 1.7 million passengers projected to use it in 2023
Dublin airport operator DAA has lodged a planning application to expand its customs pre-clearance and border protection facility for US bound passengers as it “currently experiences chronic congestion and requires immediate expansion”.
Underlining the strain on the existing CBP facilities in Dublin Airport, planning consultants for the operator, Coakley O’Neill, Fingal County Council that the CBP overflow queuing system needed to be used five out of every seven days in the Summer of 2022 and is projected to be used even more this summer.
The consultants said that the overflow queuing system was “technically and logistically complex and cumbersome” and affected other parts of Pier 4 including the gates for arrivals and departures to non-US destinations and even affects the link between Pier 4 and the main T2 building itself”. Coakley O’Neill went on to say that the overflow queuing system was “inefficient and confusing for passengers with US bound and rest of world bound passengers frequently becoming concerned about getting through security to board their flights on time”.
