Special needs

Facilities for passengers with special needs at Dublin International Airport are in line with regulations set by the European Union. Disabled passengers travelling to or from the airport will find that adequate provision is made for them including those passengers with mobility, visual or audio impairments.

Wheelchair users are well catered for, with ramps and lifts providing access to all areas of the terminal. Set down areas outside the Departures and Arrivals entrances are also provided for passengers with reduced mobility. Disabled car parking spaces, specially designed toilets and low level telephones are all available.

For the hard of hearing, the airport has induction loops, allowing hearing aid users to amplify airport announcements and hence keep up-to-date with flight developments. A counter loop system is also on hand at the information desk.

For the blind and visually challenged, the airport's newest lifts have Braille buttons and an inbuilt voiceover system. Extra assistance is available on request; make sure you inform the airport and your airline prior to your arrival at the airport should you require help.
