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
