PASSENGER NUMBERS UP AT DUBLIN AIRPORT Dublin Airport welcomed a total of 32.9 million passengers during 2019, setting a new record for traffic at the airport. About 30.7 million people started and ended their journey at Dublin Airport last year, while almost 2.2 million passengers used the airport as a hub.

An additional 1.4 million passengers passed through the airport during 2019. “Dublin Airport had its ninth consecutive year of passenger growth in 2019 and this has had a hugely positive impact on the entire Irish economy,” said Dublin Airport Managing Director Vincent Harrison. A new study has found that Dublin Airport supports or facilitates almost 130,000 jobs in the Republic of Ireland and contributes a total of €9.8 billion in Gross Value Added (GVA) to the Irish economy. “The connectivity provided by Dublin Airport is essential, as the Irish economy is one of the most open in the world,” according to Mr Harrison. “Our economy depends on trade, exports, inbound tourism and foreign direct investment and Dublin Airport is delighted to be able to facilitate these key sectors.” This year, Dublin Airport will welcome 12 new routes.
