Dublin Airport to welcome record-breaking number of passengers this year

Passenger numbers for Dublin Airport are soaring, with bosses predicting this will be ‘a record-breaking year’ for the facility.

The airport welcomed 21.71 million passengers in 2014. As of earlier this week, some 21.96 million passengers had already passed through its doors, already surpassing last year’s numbers, with another seven weeks left to spare in the busy run up to Christmas.
