At The Airport

People with reduced mobility

Dublin Airport Authority (DAA) is dedicated to providing accessibility for people with reduced mobility throughout its facilities at Dublin Airport.

How To Request Assistance
People with reduced mobility should contact and notify their airline, travel agent or tour operator with details of their assistance requirements at least 48 hours in advance of the departure of their flight.

On arrival at Dublin Airport, passengers can either use one of the Help Points located throughout the Airport to gain assistance (locations listed below) or go to the One Complete Solution (OCS) Reception Desk on the Departures floor, to the right hand side when entering Door 2 on Departures. Or if a passenger wishes they can go directly to their Check-in desk and inform airline staff during their check-in that they have requested assistance, at which point a representative from OCS will arrive to provide assistance.

Background

From 26 July 2008, under Regulation EC 1107 / 2006, managing bodies of airports, such as Dublin Airport Authority (DAA), have legal responsibility for the provision of assistance services to persons with reduced mobility when travelling by air.

Following an extensive consultative process involving air carriers, their handling agents and organisations representing persons with reduced mobility, DAA has appointed One Complete Solution Ltd (OCS) to provide assistance services to people with reduced mobility.


Quality Standards
DAA has established quality standards for the assistance services specified in Annex 1 of the Regulation. Version 1.0 was the subject of consultation with air carriers and their agents and organisations representing persons with reduced mobility from 1 October 2007.

The quality standards may be inspected here:

 The DAA has also set up a Disability Users Group comprising representatives from a broad range of organisations catering for individuals with specific disabilities. Our goal in establishing this group is to ensure that any decisions relating to future developments are fully communicated to those people or groups with specific needs.

DAA provides the following facilities (which are continuously monitored) for passengers with reduced mobility:

Set down area on the Departures road

Dedicated set down areas have been allocated on the Departures roads to allow easy access to the Terminal when dropping a passenger off a person with reduced mobility.

Car park facilities for persons with reduced mobility
