DUBLIN AIRPORT IS the busiest it’s ever been, as it broke three passenger level records last month.
June marked the busiest month ever for Dublin Airport, with a total of 3.54m passengers passing through departure and arrival gates last month, according to operator DAA.
It is an almost 6% increase compared to the same month last year.
The airport last month also experienced its busiest day ever, with 129,000 passengers departing and arriving in one day, last Sunday.
Between 23 and 29 June, it was the ‘busiest week ever’ for both Dublin and Cork airports, which are run by DAA.
A total of 85,000 passengers arrived and departed from Cork Airport during that period and over 850,000 passed through Dublin.

The parking prices are absolute robbery
@Lei tatt: how much did you pay?
Is it any wonder with the eye watering costs of taking one step outside your house to try and do a single thing in this expensive kip.
@Dan The Man: And yet record numbers of people are going on holidays and travelling?kind of contradicting yourself.
@John Paul: he means not in Ireland JP
@Furious George – The Wasp: John hasn’t had his morning 6 euro Latte yet!
@Dan The Man: I’m having it now thanks,and my comment stands,everyone is whinging about the ‘cost of living’ and yet record numbers are going on holidays.keep up.
@Niall English: Ah yeah,keeping up with the joneses,and then they will blame everyone else for the difficulties they get themselves into.As they say if you can afford to pay back a loan,you can afford to save….and if you can’t,do without.Thats one of the problems with this country,people feel entitled,and they borrow to keep up.
@Niall English: Also ,record numbers in the savings department and well ahead of the eu average.This nonsense of everyone is feeling the pinch is just that.Plenty of people doing very well in this country thankfully.
Time to get the cap lifted. Holding back growth and connectivity
Departures in Dublin airport, my favourite place in Ireland. Great to get out of the place and spend a couple of weeks playing spot the Paddy. Usually they are wearing a GAA jersey or worse, a English club jersey, look like they have not washed in a week and are roaring red from the sun.
@Sammydavissenior.: OMG! That’s so racist! And I don’t know if I should call you far right or far left!
@Declan Young: thank you. Happy to offend everyone.
Half of Africa arriveing with no passports, that may be pushing numbers up a bit.
@Declan Young:
Do you see them in your sleep? Or maybe there are hiding under your bed ….
Dublin Airport launched another drone attack on us this morning on RTE extolling how terrific Dublin Airport is and how their figures about the millions using the place, while contradicted by the CSO, are more corrected.
In other words lift the cap!
Enough already, we are sick of hearing this, and also how hospitality needs a VAT cut and how Farmers, despite rapidly rising prices, are in dire straps.
Welcome to the wonderful world of lobbyists!
Everyone I know is doing at least one summer holiday abroad this year! Everyone! The boom is back!
Just sitting in departures in a European airport. Can’t spot any scanager Irish….oops, that must mean I am the biggest scanager.
have your say
