Arrivals hall in Terminal 1 to get €10 million makeover

DUBLIN Airport is investing €10 million to transform the arrivals hall and façade of Terminal 1.

Renovations include new flooring, a replacement ceiling, the removal of desks currently situated in some window areas to allow natural light in and a new look to the front of the terminal.

When completed, the arrivals hall will be brighter, more spacious and modern. All restaurants will be located in one area while services such as the tourist information office, bus, travel and the information desk will be grouped together making the floor layout more user friendly and intuitive for customers.

Dublin Airport’s managing director, Vincent Harrison, said the arrivals hall will look very different when the work is compelted.

“We are upgrading Terminal 1 on a phased basis and we have already enhanced the departures floor,” he said. “We are now turning our attention to the arrivals hall. Our goal is to greatly improve the overall look and feel for our customers.”

Terminal 1 is 44 years old and has welcomed over 400 million passengers during that time.
