Ryanair Starts Building New €40 Million Aircraft Maintenance Facility At Dublin Airport

#Traveltradetogether

Creating 200 new engineers and mechanic jobs.

Ryanair, Ireland’s No. 1 airline, yesterday (Wed, 29 Jan) began construction of its new €40 million aircraft maintenance facility at Dublin Airport. This state-of-the-art 4 bay hangar will create over 200 new highly paid and high skilled jobs for engineers and mechanics.

Ryanair’s new 120,000sq foot hangar will facilitate the heavy and line maintenance of Ryanair’s growing fleet as the airline continues to take delivery of more efficient new technology 737-8200 “Gamechanger” aircraft, which carry 4% more passengers while cutting CO2 emissions by 16% and noise by 40%. In addition to a more environmentally efficient fleet, Ryanair’s new hangar at Dublin will also be one of the most environmentally efficient hangars in the EU with gas absorption heat pumps reducing energy use by up to 35%.

Speaking on-site at Dublin this morning, Ryanair COO, Neal McMahon, said:

“As Ireland’s No.1 airline, we are pleased to turn the sod today on our new aircraft maintenance facility at Dublin Airport, which will see Ryanair invest a further €40 million in Dublin, significantly expand of our current Dublin maintenance facility, and create over 200 highly paid jobs for engineers and mechanics.

Ryanair’s new state-of-the-art 120,000sq foot facility will be one of the most environmentally friendly hangars in Europe and will facilitate the maintenance of our growing fleet as we continue to take delivery of new technology 737-8200 “Gamechanger” aircraft (which cut CO2 by 16% and noise by 40%).
