Construction has began on Ryanair's new €40 million aircraft maintenance facility at Dublin Airport.

This state-of-the-art 4 bay hangar will create over 200 new highly paid and high skilled jobs for engineers and mechanics.

Speaking on-site at the recent sod-cutting event in Dublin, Ryanair COO, Neal McMahon, said: "Ryanair's new state-of-the-art 120,000sq foot facility will be one of the most environmentally friendly hangars in Europe and will facilitate the maintenance of our growing fleet".

He added: "This is a fantastic opportunity for both experienced and trainee engineers and mechanics to join Ryanair and work with the biggest operator of Boeing 737s in Europe."

The airline's new 120,000sq foot hangar will facilitate the heavy and line maintenance of Ryanair's growing fleet as the company continues to take delivery of more efficient new technology, 737-8200 'Gamechanger' aircraft, which carry 4% more passengers while cutting CO2 emissions by 16% and noise by 40%.

In addition to a more environmentally efficient fleet, Ryanair's new hangar at Dublin will also be one of the most environmentally efficient hangars in the EU with gas absorption heat pumps reducing energy use by up to 35%.
