Final call for Dublin Airports T1 flight information board

THE LARGE flight information board in the departures area of Dublin Airport’s Terminal 1 will be removed over the next four weeks.

It will be replaced with 15 flight information screens – three to the side of each check-in island.

The change is part of an overall programme to modernise Terminal 1, which is more than 40 years old, and improve the overall passenger experience.

As part of this programme, ticket desks have been removed in T1 to create more light and space in the departures area and a new wooden fascia has been installed in departures. The current road upgrade at the departures level of Terminal 1 is also part of this wider upgrade programme.

The flight information board in T1 has been in place since 2005 and had become a symbol of Dublin Airport over the past 10 years.

“We’ll be sorry to see the big board go, but the way in which passengers avail of information has changed dramatically over the past decade and we have to move with the times,” said Dublin Airport spokeswoman Siobhan O’Donnell.
