Dont think so. Im sure entering another additional country enroute before arriving in US would invalidate that.

Dublin Airport Authority (DAA) has secured planning permission for almost half a million sq ft of offices in a planned new 70-acre (28-hectare) business park at Dublin airport. Permission has also been granted for a new public space connected to Terminal 2.

DAA originally set a long time frame for the business park but after the earlier than expected success with the redevelopment of the old Aer Lingus headquarters and its letting to ESB International, the State body decided to proceed with the new build element of Dublin Airport Central.

An Bord Pleanála has granted permission for the construction of four individual Grade A, six- and seven-storey head office style buildings with an overall capacity of 41,700sq m (448,854sq ft). The blocks will range in size from 8,200 to 11,450sq m (88,263 to 123, 245sq ft) and will adjoin a high quality landscaped urban realm and city garden area. The first phase of the business park is expected to accommodate more than 4,000 employees.

Separately, DAA is seeking expressions of interest for the development and operation of a four-star, 402-bedroom hotel linked in to Terminal 2. The bidder will build the hotel and operate it for a specified period before transferring its ownership to the DAA.
DAA to go ahead with business park at Dublin Airport

I'd love to know where they will park it!

I've heard the same, and it seems for every 1 staff member that mentions it 20 say it won't happen!

We've been over this before, DUB cannot handle A380 until new runway opends due wing tip clearance on the Bravos and E6/E7 RETS being too tight.

In essence the A380 could only arrive on 10 and only depart off 28.

It can and if it happened (it's not-nothing filed yet) it would be allowed (even with minor issues). It's more likely than not that it will operate before the new runway opens.

EK tried to upgrade to A380 2 years ago, were told no due multiple reasons the airport cannot realistically take it. While it was taxying the airport would grind to a halt due wingtip clearance issues on many taxiways. None of the RETS are able to take it on 28, so it would have to land on 10, which when you consider 28 is in use about 65% of the time, would cause massive delays while other traffic holds to accommodate, assuming the winds even allow 10 to be used, which is far from guaranteed.

So it will fill up the holds if 28 is in use on arrival, and do the same on departure if 10 is in use.

An A380 coming into DUB would be bad news for everyone involved.

Only last minute, as the winds would need to cooperate. Can't use 16/34 at all, so you could only nail it down a few days in advance when you know what WX will be.

Just land it in Shannon where it has landed numerous times without issue and guests would reach their desired holiday accommodation faster ��

Shannon can't handle it either, and I doubt Emirates clients would enjoy a lovely long walk along the tarmac on a cold windy wet day
