DAA hopes to boost Cork passengers to 5m
Dublin Airport operator, State company DAA, pledged on Wednesday to improve standards at Ireland’s biggest gateway Picture Colin Keegan, Collins Dublin
Dublin will remain within the 32-million passenger limit imposed by planners this year, according to DAA chief executive, Kenny Jacobs, who stressed that the company would comply with the rule, even as demand headed for 35 million. A greater proportion of terminal two passengers will benefit this year, according to Mr McLean. He said that the airport aimed to get 90 per cent of passengers through security in less than 20 minutes, a target he maintained it exceeded last year.
Mr Jacobs suggested that it could discuss operating the Swords Road car park with the owner. DAA is urging anyone who intends parking at Dublin to book space early. Improvements set out by Mr McLean on Wednesday follow a 15-point plan on which the airport embarked last year to boost standards. “We want to have an airport that is ready for that population growth,” Mr Jacobs noted. DAA will demolish Cork’s old terminal, which is disused, to give it more space, and add a mezzanine to the new building.
