Dublin's new terminal opens

Aer Lingus has commenced its move to Dublin Airport’s Terminal 2 with a programme of proving flights.  The airline will operate a range of European services into and out of the new facility over the next few weeks, as it prepares for a full transfer of operations into the new terminal.

The building was official opened by Taoiseach Brian Cowen last Friday (19 November).

The idea of the test flights will enable the airline to ensure a smooth transition of its flights from Terminal 1 to Terminal 2 in January, avoiding the Christmas holiday period when the airport is traditionally very busy.  The United States Customs and Border Protection (CBP) authorities will also move.

During this period, Aer Lingus is asking all departing passengers to present at Terminal 1 as normal unless advised otherwise by the airline. www.dublinairport.com
