DUBLIN AIRPORT is to gain a second main runway over the coming years,
plans put forward by the airport authority approved last week by the
local council. The new runway will have a paved length of 3,110 m.
and will be built 1.6 km. to the north and parallel to the present
main runway, 10/28, which has a length of 2,637m. With the new runway
airlines should be able to offer far more distant overseas
destinations. It will also replace an existing runway, 11/29 not
suitable for large, heavy aircraft. Dublin's third runway, 16/34, is
a crosswind strip and measures 2,072m in length.
