Transforming Dublin Airport

Area 14, which opened in May 2007, was the first significant passenger facility delivered by the Transforming Dublin Airport Programme.

A former basement storage space, Area 14 was designed specifically to provide additional check-in space to alleviate the congested departures floor in Terminal One during peak travel periods.  Passengers, once checked-in, are delivered to the passenger security area on the departures floor by dedicated stairs, lifts and escalators.

The Area has 25 check-in desks, numerous self-service kiosks and is capable of handling up to four million passengers per year.

Area 14’s lighting features play a key role in its sleek, modern look and feel. The unique ceiling disc lighting system can, at the flick of a switch, provide different lighting effects and an element of fun to the space.
