Dublin Airport celebrates 80 years with reflection and expansion

Dublin Airport’s short-haul network is also expanding, with 11 new summer services to destinations in Italy, France, Sardinia, Israel, Cairo and others also announced also a long-haul daily service to San Francisco.

Today marks 80 years since Dublin Airport first opened its doors.

Now welcoming more than 30 million passengers a year, the airfield began with just one or two flights a week in 1940.
