Dublin Airport has published a "15 point plan" it said would "improve standards" by adding 400 seats, faster wi-fi and faster security checks for passengers.
There are to be "more staff, shorter queues, more seats, new family seating zones and less clutter across the airport" as well as "more buses and taxis at the airport, and more places to eat and drink," according to Kenny Jacobs, chief executive of the Dublin Airport Authority.
The airport said it would aim for "higher cleanliness standards throughout both terminals with 1,500 cleaning hours and 120 cleaning inspections each day this summer" and would add 20% more charging points for electronics, the same percentage as new taxi permits to be provided for drivers to operate at pick-up points. Bus services from the airport would be expanded by 15%, the DAA said.
The plan's publication came after a difficult year for the airport, which struggled with the rebound of traffic in mid-2022 after the ending of Covid travel curbs, with long queues at security receiving widespread media coverage nit just in Ireland but overseas.
