Dublin airport delays

Airport operator Daa said staffing challenges faced by airlines were responsible for the delays on this 'very busy' Sunday.

Daa is “liaising very closely” with the airlines affected to ensure they check in their passengers and their baggage as efficiently as possible to minimise delays. “While queues at security screening moved well for the first early wave of departures in both terminals this morning, some airlines have experienced delays at their check-in desks and bag drop areas due to resourcing issues of their own,” said Daa head of communications Kevin Cullinane. Dublin Airport passengers are facing delays at check-in desks and bag drop areas as the airport sees its busiest weekend of the year so far.

The DAA said passengers faced delays at check-in and bag drop areas on Sunday due to "staffing challenges" facing airlines throughout Europe.

Kevin Cullinane, DAA group head of communications, said: "Some airlines have experienced delays at their check-in desks and bag drop areas due to resourcing issues of their own.

Queues at check-in desks due to 'staffing challenges' facing airlines, airport management says.

“The airport may be running better upstairs but the baggage carnage remains,” one person tweeted. Mr Cullinane said the airport was working “very closely” with airlines to minimise waiting times. Much of the online complaints have moved from queue times to luggage issues. “Never again will I go through @DublinAirport,” posted another, appearing to reflect ongoing general staffing problems. DAA continued to field questions and complaints from passengers. Mr McQueen was speaking a day after Minister for Transport Eamon Ryan conceded the drafting of army personnel was among various options being considered to help a depleted airport staff cope with any future crises.
