James CoxDublin Airport is targeting an increase in the number of passengers travelling to and from the airport by bus over the coming years. The airport is seeking expressions of interest from bus operators who would like to operate scheduled bus services from the various bus stops outside the two terminals from Spring 2024 onwards. Currently, around one third (33 per cent) of departing passengers and one third (35 per cent) of the 19,900 people working at Dublin Airport travel to the campus by bus and Dublin Airport “sees strong potential to increase both percentages over the coming years”. Dublin Airport’s chief commercial and development officer Vincent Harrison said: “We are inviting fresh thinking and initiatives to improve the attractiveness of the bus service operating to Dublin Airport for our passengers and employees alike. Any bus operators who serve Dublin Airport but do not wish to take part in this tender will still be accommodated in the Zone 16 Coach Park at Dublin Airport “to add to the options available to passengers and staff alike”.
