Aviation enthusiasts to get observation platform at Dublin Airport
The DAA has formally applied for planning permission for the new viewing platform at the airport’s perimeter
Plans of the proposed 'plane-spotting' facility
Aviation enthusiasts will soon be able to watch aircraft using Dublin Airport from the comfort of a specially-built viewing platform after the DAA formally applied for planning permission for the new facility.
The DAA, which flagged the potential development last year, has told Fingal County Council that the new observation facility on Old Airport Road will formalise the position of a layby at the airport’s perimeter, locally known as ‘The Mound’, that attracts so-called ‘Avgeeks’ who park up to watch aircraft landing and taking off.
