DAA chief executive Declan Collier said the 50m euro extension to Terminal One "will provide much needed extra space for customers and help improve the passenger experience at Dublin Airport".
He added that in tandem with the T2 project, the DAA is also working on a broad range of improvements that will benefit the users of Terminal One by delivering additional capacity and refurbishments on a phased basis.
"This andeuro;50m investment in Terminal One is one of a number of projects that we are working on to radically improve the customer experience for all passengers using Dublin Airport," he said.
"Over the next five years we will be investing about andeuro;450m in Terminal One related projects".
"This spend includes the T1 extension, the construction of Pier D, new apron works, a major roads and kerbs upgrade and a large number of internal refurbishments and upgrades".
A planning application for the Terminal One extension was lodged today (Thursday Dec 7th) with Fingal County Council.
Subject to planning, building work is due to begin next year and the Terminal One extension will be completed in the autumn of 2008.
The northern end of Terminal One is being expanded to help cope with the huge growth in passengers departing from Pier A and the new Pier D, which will open in the autumn of next year.
More than 12 million passengers are expected to use Piers A and D during 2008, a 40% increase on the current passenger volumes in this area The new triangular-shaped extension is a two-storey building with a mezzanine that will expand the existing terminal at the departures level, the arrivals level and the mezzanine level.
The extension will sit on a number of concrete columns above ground level so that the apron area below the building can be retained for use by ground handlers and other aviation related services.
At departures level, the new extension will provide space for a reconfigured check-in area that will have 20 check-in desks with significant additional space for passengers.
Beyond the passenger security area, the project will create a larger circulation area for passengers en route to Pier A and Pier D.
The new extension will also provide an enhanced airside retail and food and beverage offering.
Passengers will enter this new area from the Pier A end of the existing retail 'Street', where a new cafe style outlet will be located.
The extension to Terminal One has been designed by a consortium headed by ADPi, working in conjunction with the DAA's internal capital projects team.
ADPi, which is a subsidiary of Aeroports de Paris, is one of the world's leading designers of passenger terminals.
Meanwhile work is almost complete on a new lower ground floor check-in area in Terminal One that will be available at the end of the year.
This will provide 25 extra check-in desks capable of handling four million passengers per year and should help mitigate the impact of congestion at Dublin Airport during peak travel periods, while T2 is being built.
