Ireland: Option of third terminal at Dublin Airport to be examined
A new review of airport capacity will look at the potential of establishing a third, privately-operated, terminal at Dublin Airport, minister for Transport Shane Ross said. The minister said a forthcoming review which will examine the longer-term capacity needs of the 3 State airports “will include an option for a third, independent terminal at Dublin airport”. He said the review would get underway within weeks. Meanwhile, DAA CE Kevin Toland said the idea of an independent terminal was a theoretical model, which was costly and inflexible. He said it had been tried and had failed, and had been reversed in 2 major airports in Europe and North America. Toland said the delivery of the second new runway and other infrastructure to support growth at Dublin airport should be a priority as a third terminal was a long way down the line. <br/>
