Dublin to London the world’s second busiest international air route

The world’s second busiest international air route is right on our doorstep, according to figures released yesterday by the International Air Transport Association (IATA).

A total of 3.6 million passengers travelled the route between Dublin and London last year; a 6.9% rise on the 2012 figure.

Traffic on the route grew by almost 7% last year, making it the second most popular inter-city international route, ahead of Jakarta to Singapore and behind the Hong Kong to Chinese Tapei route which remained the world’s most travelled despite an 11.5% decrease.
