The global professional services company, supported by partners AECOM, Arup, and Wilson James, will augment daa’s existing in-house infrastructure teams.

Following its regulatory approval in 2022, daa’s Capital Investment Programme will see the sustainable development of Dublin Airport as an international hub, ensuring it has the capacity to connect Ireland to key existing and emerging global markets. 

Turner & Townsend, AECOM and Arup have supported daa with planning, environmental and project delivery on its capital investments over the past 20 years, including the delivery of Terminal 2. Since 2019, the global professional services company has also worked with daa to deliver its advanced Hold Baggage Screening (HBS3) programme, ensuring state-of-the-art standards of safety and security for travellers passing through the airport.  

“Supported by AECOM, Arup, and Wilson James, we have a proven track record of successful partnership at Dublin Airport, Heathrow, Abu Dhabi, and other global airports. With our talented teams of technical experts, we are ideally placed to support daa as it moves into the next phase of Capital Investment Programme 2020+.

daa’s vision for the airport will place it amongst the world’s most advanced in terms of the sustainability of its infrastructure and the overall experience for passengers. We are looking forward to taking our collaboration with daa to the next level at Dublin Airport, Cork Airport and across its international portfolio.”
