Dublin is No 1 destination for London passengers

DUBLIN is the most popular destination for passengers jetting off from London’s five main airports for a break, new figures show.

Last year more than 4.2 million passengers flew in both directions between Dublin and the five airports: Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Luton and London City.

Britain’s Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) quizzed 128,000 passengers at the London airports and found the most popular destination for leisure travellers was Dublin.
