Furthermore, new wooden tiles and fascia will be added to walls, and existing ticket desks will be removed to make room for more light and space in the arrivals hall.
Dublin Airport Managing director Vincent Harrison said: “Terminal 1 is 44 years old and has welcomed over 400 million passengers during that time.
“This new, brighter floor tile will significantly improve the look and feel of the Departures area.
“With the Arrivals Hall upgrade well under way, our goal is to create a greatly enhanced passenger experience for all our customers travelling through Terminal 1.”
