Air India look to Dublins Terminal 2

Air India are looking at moving their European hub from Frankfurt to the new terminal at Dublin airport. A major factor in this is the airport charges in Frankfurt. Air India has seen large increases over the last couple of years and it believes it service can be maintained or improved by using another European airport, while at the same time reducing its cost. Birmingham airport is also in the running for this contract. However Dublin is seen as the favourite due to the new screening technology in terminal 2. As Air India are looking to target their trans Atlantic flights, the fact the emigration checks for the US and Canada will be carried out in Dublin before the plane leaves is a huge bonus.
