DAA has confirmed that it plans to construct a second runway at Dublin Airport.
The 3,110 metre runway will be built 1.6km north of the existing main runway and is expected to be delivered in 2020. Dublin Airport is to invest €320m on the project. The airport received planning permission in August 2007 to build a new runway, but the plans were put on hold due to the economic downturn and a fall in passenger numbers. However, today's move had been expected after passenger numbers hit a record 25 million last year, beating the previous record of 23 million set in 2008. There are expectations that the airport may increase passenger charges to help pay for the new runway.
