DUBLIN Airport has left passengers divided after asking an “important question” on social media.
The airport is teasing the idea of a Chinese food spot opening soon.
And they may even start selling one of Ireland’s top food choices – the spice bag.
They said: “We have an important question!
“Spice bags at the airport, yay or nay?”
At present, the airport’s food scene consists mainly of quick-service chains, with no spot offering this culinary delight on their menu.
A Chinese restaurant would be a huge boost for passengers, especially those with longer layovers or those looking for more variety in food choice.
However, some passengers have been left divided, taking to the comment section to share their thoughts.
One person wrote: “Yes, definitely, I would buy so many because I travel a lot through Dublin.”
But some have raised their concerns that they’ll be far more expensive than those elsewhere.
Another person commented: “It better be the price of a regular spice bag, though.”
Dublin Airport also revealed in the comment section that they have big plans coming to Terminal 1.
Along with the possibility of a Chinese food spot, they said they’re looking at having longer opening hours for bars and restaurants across the Airport.
This comes after Dublin Airport has issued a major Christmas warning to passengers ahead of the festive season.
Major Christmas warning
The airport is on track to surpass 32 million passengers in December 2024 – with parking spots set to fill up fast.
So far this year, Dublin Airport has already handled 28.7million passengers, with a five per cent increase compared to 2023.
Despite this growth, a passenger cap has become a major issue – with Dublin Airport needing to limit its capacity to comply with regulations.
In October, the airport welcomed a record 2.9 million passengers, making it the busiest October in the airport’s 84-year history.
October’s peak day saw 114,000 passengers, although a significant number of these were rebooked after Storm Ashley caused disruptions.
Passenger numbers are expected to exceed 32 million by December, with forecasts predicting a final count closer to 33 million for the year.
The airport is now working on plans to increase capacity, including a proposal to raise the cap to 40 million passengers and an operational plan to reach 36 million without new infrastructure.
