The Daa has put a tender out for baggage handling services at Dublin Airport.
The airport operator is looking for a third party to cover luggage weighing, wrapping and left luggage services at Dublin in order to cope with an expected busy summer holiday season and to avoid a repeat of the chaos seen last year when the perfect storm of staff shortages and a post-Covid surge in passenger demand resulted in delays, long queues and lost luggage as the country’s main airport creaked under the pressure.
Dublin Airport is expecting to see more than 31 million passengers pass through its doors this year, about 3 million more than last year.
The Daa expects to see 33 million passengers at Dublin Airport next year and 37 million by 2028.
