Dublin Airport (EIDW) has introduced new
security procedures for GA traffic
As of May 2012, all outbound passengers and crew will now need to be fully screened and must comply with the same security protocols as commercial passengers. Previously, this was not a requirement and passengers and crew were allowed to proceed out to the aircraft without any screening. Business aircraft operators should anticipate that extra time will be needed to clear security. If you have questions about these changes, please contact us by phone at +353 1 8145777 or send us your questions online.
