Dublin Airport contributes €9.6bn to the economy, new study finds 

Airport directly responsible for 19,900 jobs and indirectly responsible for a further 11,700

Dublin Airport operator Daa said it would be seeking planning permission to increase capacity beyond the current 32 million passenger cap per year.  

Dublin Airport contributes €9.6bn to the economy through direct and indirect employment created as well as its impact on tourism, a new study has found.

The study was produced by international economic consultants InterVistas on behalf of Dublin Airport Authority (Daa). It measures the overall economic impact of Dublin Airport and considers areas such as employment levels, the wages of the people employed in airport-related activities, and the indirect benefits that flow into the wider Irish economy.
