DAA Notes Government Decision Re Name Change

July 23, 2013

The Board of Dublin Airport Authority (DAA) is pleased to note the decision by Government to change the Group’s corporate name to daa.

The decision represents a pragmatic and cost-effective response to a situation where the specific “Dublin” and “Authority” elements of the Group’s corporate name did not fully reflect its business focus or ethos.

The amended holding company name, “daa” retains the positive associations it has built with corporate stakeholders over the past decade, including those outside Ireland and throughout the aviation industry generally.

Under the holding company framework, the Group will continue to promote the distinctive identities of its key operating business units, including Dublin and Cork Airports; ARI, the multinational airport retail company; and a newly-established subsidiary focusing on airport transactions and advisory services.
