Dublin to London busiest air route as Britain-Ireland passenger figures fall

THE Dublin to London air route was Britain’s busiest international route last year.

This is despite passenger numbers between Britain and Ireland falling by 0.1 million or 0.8% in the year — the largest fall for an individual country.

The fall-off compares with high growth in travel to Ireland from Britain in 2006, when Ireland showed a 4.8% increase on 2005.
