The T2 project includes a new terminal building and a new departures gate area called Pier E. The T2 development also includes a new energy efficient power plant and an upgrade of the airport's campus road network. The new terminal is costing €395 million, while the overall cost of the T2 project is €609 million.

T2 will offer a radical improvement in passenger comfort levels at Dublin Airport. Making extensive use of natural light throughout, the new terminal will be bigger, brighter and easier to use.

We have designed T2 to meet the needs of long-haul and short-haul passengers in a modern, user-friendly environment. T2 will also provide an equally pleasant experience for both departing and arriving passengers.

The new terminal, which will be served by its own dedicated arrivals and departures roads, will comprise a check-in hall and a departures hall connected by a bridge that forms the central spine of the building.  It will have 58 check-in desks and ample provision for self-service and online check-in and bag tag and drop positions.

Having checked in, departing passengers will pass through an enlarged security screening area and into a spacious new departures lounge. Here they can linger, access the new shops, cafés and restaurants, or proceed directly to their boarding gate.

T2 will have 9,000 sq metres of retail and catering outlets, the income from which helps minimise passenger charges at Dublin Airport. T2 will also include a new facility - one of only two in Europe - that will allow passengers to clear US customs and immigration before departure.

Arriving passengers will be able to move easily from the gate to the modern new baggage reclaim area and on to waiting transportation options, staying on the same level throughout.

T2 is expected to be home to Aer Lingus and other Transatlantic and Intercontinental Carriers. We look forward to welcoming to our new terminal from Summer 2010.Terminal 2 (T2) is a new passenger terminal for Dublin Airport.
