Under the contract, Siemens Logistics will replace the present HBS, which comprises 6km of conveyor and an automated sorting system.

The contract also requires the company to install an additional line to increase the system’s capacity.

One of the project’s challenges will be to execute the work without disrupting passenger operations and flight schedules.

DAA Design and Delivery head professor Stephen Byrne said: “The decision to opt for Siemens is based on the long and positive relationship. In addition, Siemens has demonstrated its commitment to Dublin Airport, providing an experienced team on site.”
