Terminal 2 opens at Dublin airport

Terminal 2 has opened its doors under massive controversy and the DAA have a hard road ahead to show the Irish people that it was really needed. While the government have insisted the new terminal is for the long term, the fact passenger numbers have slumped by 4 million in the last 2 years, it raises the question, was this really the right time? To compound this timing issue, the IMF arrived in Dublin to bail out the country of the financial crisis its in on the same day Terminal 2 opened.

Looking beyond this however, Aer Lingus have had some flights out of the terminal, although travellers still had to check in at Terminal 1, and Air Ethiad will begin their scheduled flights from tomorrow. It is hoped that Aer Lingus will be fully operational from the Terminal in the New Year, with a number of Trans Atlantic flights also in place by that time with other airlines.
