Dublin Airport has become the first in the world to offer a 360-degree virtual tour of its entire airfield.
Thousands of images were captured by Google’s Street View car which were compiled together to give a comprehensive tour of the runway and surrounding area.
The Google vehicle was escorted by Dublin Airport personnel at all times to ensure airfield safety requirements were met.
Dublin Airport Managing Director Vincent Harrison said “Airfields are exciting and fascinating places for many people so we are delighted to be the first airport in the world to give free, easy to access virtual tours of our airfield and runway areas".
“Anyone wishing to have a closer look beyond the boarding gate can now get a pilot’s view down the main runway at Dublin Airport, take a virtual tour around other areas of the airfield as well as the four boarding gate piers servicing Terminals 1 and 2" he added.
The new images will also be used in training new airport employees working around the airport’s airfield.
