It means:
Any passengers flying onword from European Airports (Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Paris etc) will have to be screened before they connect onto a flight.
All aircraft will have to be searched by staff between all flights that arrival and depart from Dublin.. (restarted as of last night)

So did I and passengers who are connecting are screened at some airports anyway but it will be every signal passenger for at least 2 months. A little embarrassing for the DAA to say the least!!

I assumed that connecting passengers were routinely rescreened? Only exceptions would be from domestic Irish as they are already screened to Irish standards.

The EU have imposed them as the DAA have not delt with the issues fast enough. Airlines are due to be breifed on it tomorrow and EU airports will decide how they will handle flights over the next few days. Will be intresting to see if UK airports treat passengers as International passengers.
Ryanair also claim that during security tests items not allowed have being missed by the security scanners, the DAA say its not thorugh
Would like to know the exact issue as it only affects EU flights..

Er, really?
I connect flights all the time and cannot think of a single occasion where I've not had to be screened a second time at my transit point - that includes CDG, LHR, FRA, AMS, and AUH.
If passengers are not routinely re-screened then I'm clearly exceptionally unlucky. I think my record was five separate security screenings on a flight KWI-FRA-DUB (and okay, that one originated in the middle east, but still...)

Schiphol mixes all non-Schengen passengers together, so all get searched again. In theory, if Irish passengers were kept separate, only passport control would be required. Don't know if there's anywhere that does that though. Frankfurt and Paris are the same.

A note for the hard working DAA marketeers at Dublin Airport.
Another fab opportunity awaits for those who work hard - from the end of October, 2012 Singapore Airlines are withdrawing from both Athens and Abu Dhabi.
Athens's & Abu Dhabi's loss is Dublin's opportunity - put in some hard work and by summer schedule 2013 Dublin might be fortunate enough to get in Singapore Airlines in the shape of the 777-200 or at worst, an A330-200, if they have the range from Singapore.
All the hard work.
Are you there, Cork Airport, are you there?

Etihad & United
Just wondering how is the Dublin-Abu Dhabi route performing now with competition on Emirates ? And how are the bookings looking for the new Washington DC route on United ?
It certainly would be nice, but I don't think Dublin has enough runway for the return trip on either aircraft. I don't believe the A332 even has the range - besides, they are using it on other routes within the Asia-Pacific.

After 3 press releases slaming the DAA and DOT over the security issues, FR have had a turn and now want to help.
