Runway Specification

The length of the proposed runway is 3110m. This length is based on consultation with the users and with minimising the impact of the construction on the surrounding road network. The horizontal separation between the two runways will be 1690.6m (or 1.69km).  The width of the runway will be 60m with 7.5m shoulders either side.

Relationships with existing runway system

• Runway 11/29, shortest runway at Dublin Airport, will be decommissioned and physically removed 
• Runway 16/34 will remain in service and will be used primarily for cross-wind operations
• Runway 10/28, existing main runway (opened in 1989) will operate independently of the new runway
