The Dublin Airport Authority welcomes Ryanair’s announcement today that it is to base 3 new aircraft at Dublin Airport and open up a further 12 new European routes.
Commenting on the announcement Airport Director, Robert Hilliard said “This announcement is very timely given that construction will commence next week on a our new Check-in area 14 which will be used by Ryanair when completed. This new check-in area will provide an additional 25 new check-in desks, will have capacity to cater for in excess of 4 million departing passengers per annum and will be delivered in December this year.”
While the availability of new destinations is very welcome for passengers travelling through Dublin Airport, Mr. Hilliard also emphasised the importance of slot co-ordination at Dublin Airport for 2007 schedules. Slot co-ordination is an important element of the efficient use of airport facilities and effectively means that, with an even distribution of flight schedules during peak times, the Airport will be better able to comfortably cater for the growing numbers expected at the Airport.
