Summary sheet
Construction of a fifth runway and associated infrastructure: The new north-south runway, at 3 800 m long and 60 m wide will be capable of accommodating aircraft operating on long-haul routes and will be operable in all weather conditions.
The fifth runway will make an essential contribution in meeting environmental constraints of the airport, as it will significantly reduce the amount of noise in surrounding residential areas while ensuring the continued development and growth of the airport.
Full EIA procedures have been undertaken prior to planning approval including an extensive public enquiry process.
Past procurement procedures followed open procedures and were advertised in the OJEC consistent with EC Directives. Future contracts will be advertised and tendered in accordance with these directives.
