Travellers from and to Dublin this summer are in for a bonus with the airport’s largest operator Ryanair serving 130 routes, including 14 new destinations. See below.

This expanded summer schedule is underpinned by an increase in the number of Boeing 737 Gamechangers based at Dublin rising from 11 up to 16. These environmentally efficient aircraft carry 4% more passengers, burn 16% less fuel and most importantly, generate 40% less noise on Dublin Airport’s new north runway. The airport’s total throughput is expected to rise to 16m passengers per annum.

Kenny Jacobs, the former Marketing Director, Ryanair, now CEO of Dublin Airport, said: “Ryanair is an incredible success story, and daa wants to support their future growth at Dublin and Cork airports. We take a necessary long-term view on infrastructure and we are progressing our €1.9bn capital investment programme to ensure Dublin Airport continues to grow in a safe and efficient way to support all our current and future airline customers.

"Aeronautical charges at Dublin Airport are one of the lowest among our peer airports in Europe and we wish to remain a low-cost airport whilst securing a modest increase to ensure a resilient offering for our airline partners and passengers.”
