The National Aviation Policy commited to an independent review of the capacity needs of Ireland’s State airports.
In order to ensure that the airports are prepared for the longer term, this review looks to the future needs of the three State airports to 2050.
The review concludes that how passengers get to and from Dublin Airport in the future will be critical to any decision on terminal development. In light of this, steps are now being taken to ensure that collaboration and consultation on this issue takes place among relevant stakeholders as a matter of urgency.
The smaller regional airports in Donegal, Knock, Kerry and Waterford are dealt with separately under the Ireland's Regional Airports Programme 2015-2019 Regional Airports Programme 2015-2019.
The review was undertaken by Oxford Economics and Cambridge Economic Policy Associates (CEPA). The review was published by the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, Mr Shane Ross, TD on 26 October 2018.
