Why on earth does DUB need to keep two terminals open for just 900 passengers a day? Do they not need to shield their business from the financial impact of Covid-19?
Almost all 3,500 staff are now on a 4 day week from a 10 days ago until end of June, blanket pay cut of 20% (apart from fire, police I believe). Government scheme will cover 25% of wage bill until end of June not up to 80% that many other companies can avail of. Seasonal staff contacts have likely been terminated to. |

You will not save anything by closing one.

I'm puzzled by this 14 day quarantine on arriving passengers rule. If I fly in from Malta (5 Covid deaths) I must quarantine for 14 days. If I arrive in from the UK (most deaths in Europe at 31,587) I don't have to quarantine, what is the logic in that? |

Of course it would.

Sky News report: “Airlines UK, the trade body for UK registered airlines, has confirmed to Sky News that the move will be introduced by the government for anyone arriving into the UK other than from Ireland, to ease the spread of COVID-19.’

Thank you for correcting my understanding. I appreciate it.

The proposal was for an Irish 'bubble' - anyone from the island could travel freely within the island. If my understanding is correct - anyone from great Britain has to quarantine. Anyone from Northern Ireland doesn't. The UK doesn't want a Great Britain bubble for all the political chaos that that will bring. Amazingly, Corona doesn't travel by ferry. It's only an airport quarantine. |
I believe you are correct. Also, those travelling from Britain via ROI en route to NI face no restrictions.

There is no real savings closing a terminal. Now there is certain parts of the airport where passengers are not using for flights. What I meant was are UK citizens exempt from quarantining for 14 days in Ireland, and according to the RTE news tonight, the answer is no. Irish citizens arriving in say London are exempt from quarantine restrictions, but UK citizens arriving in Dublin are not exempt from the Irish 14 day restriction. To little to late from both countries, now had both followed Eastern Europe things would be different... |
The Irish Times (16th May) looks at the nearlly empty Dublin Airport terminals
In the airport control room, the smell of disinfectant is strong. There are just three people on duty. The CCTV screens are empty and the real-time computer-generated map recording all airport movement is still. JAS |
