While this should be moved to DUB forum, yes DUB has 2 runway however they are very restricted when both are used. IAA will allow dual ops are allowed between 06.30-08.00 only however on 16/34 departures are only allowed and only 1815m of the 2072m runway are available for use. Flights going South, South West and South East of Dublin are not allowed to depart from it when both are in use. Dual ops also depend on VMC, ASMGCS while there is no backtrack.


16/34 is a crosswind runway and only used when wind changes. Aircraft must align themselves directly out from the runway around 10 miles distance.


So 28 is the preferred runway for operation, 16/34 costs airlines money on fuel, and departures fly over the city which is another problem in it's self, something which does not happen off 28.


As I say the small investment that will be made on 28 to increase capacity will do the job.
