New scanners at Dublin Airport will help to speed up the security process for passengers by cutting out the need to remove liquids from luggage.
Dublin Airport Managing Director, Gary McLean, estimates that the airport will have installed enough of the new C3 scanners to handle half of all passengers this summer.
“We will have 10 installed in terminal two and up to four in terminal one by the end of May,” he said, adding that DAA would then pause work for the summer before continuing to install 35 of the new scanners in total.
While the 100ml limit on liquids is still in place at the airport, the C3 scanners cut the need to remove material such as liquids from bags, speeding up security queues.
DAA will keep Dublin car parking fees in line with 2023, but the airport faces a squeeze on its 23,000 spaces, while a potential 6,200 extra slots in the old Quick Park nearby on Swords Road remain unused.
