Dublin Airport’s passenger numbers declined by 78% to under 7.4m last year due to the impact of global health restrictions as a result of Covid-19.

Figures show that more than half of all those who travelled through the airport in 2020 did so in January and February, as the number of passengers increased by 4.1m passengers during these months.
