Dublin Airport will open its new north runway to flights today.
The runway, located over 1.6km north from the current runway, is set to have its first flight either later this morning or shortly after midday between 11.30am and 12.30pm. It brings a project which began over 15 years ago to life.
The flight on the north runway will be part of the schedule and will be the only flight to use the new airstrip today. It will be live streamed on the Dublin Airport YouTube channel.
