Dublin Airport Hotels & Information

Dublin Airport, or Aerfort Bhaile ?tha Cliath in Irish, is operated by the Dublin Airport Authority. Located in Collinstown, in the Fingal part of County Dublin, it is by far the busiest airport in Ireland - over 23.2 million passengers passed through the airport in 2007. To put this into context, the population of the Greater Dublin Area is approximately 1.6 million, that of the Republic of Ireland is just over 4.3 million, and the island of Ireland just over 6 million. Passenger traffic at Dublin Airport is predominantly international; only 900,000 of its 23.2 million passengers in 2007 were domestic.

The airport is located approximately 10 kilometres north of Dublin City in a once rural area near Swords, and is served by buses and taxis. An underground railway line called 'Metro North' which will connect the airport to Swords and Dublin city centre has been approved and is in development.

The airport is the headquarters of Ireland's flag carrier Aer Lingus, and Europe's largest no-frills airline Ryanair. Ireland's third airline, CityJet, is based in the nearby town of Swords. Irish domestic and regional airline, Aer Arann, provides several domestic and UK routes from Dublin, but while part of its administration is based at Dublin Airport, its base is Galway Airport in the west of Ireland.
