===The beginnings in the 1930s and early 1940s=== | |||
In 1936 the ] established a new civil airline, ], which began operating from the military ], ], at ] to the south of Dublin. However, the decision was made that a civil airport should replace Baldonnel as the city's airport. ], to the north of Dublin, was selected as the location for the new civil aerodrome. Collinstown's first association with aviation was as a British military air base during ], but had been unused since 1922. Construction of the new airport began in 1937. By the end of 1939 a grass airfield surface, internal roads, car parks and electrical power and lighting were set up. The inaugural flight from Dublin took place on 19 January 1940 to ]. In 1940 work began on a new airport terminal building. The ] building design was by the architect ], brother of politician ].<ref></ref> It opened in early 1941, and was modelled on the bridge of a luxury liner. It was also awarded the ''Triennial Gold Medal of the Royal Hibernian Institute of Architects'' and is today a listed building. Services were severely restricted at Dublin Airport until late 1945 due to ] and the only external scheduled route was by Aer Lingus to Liverpool (and for a period to Manchester's Barton Airport). Three new concrete runways were completed by 1947. | |||

Throughout the 1950s Dublin Airport expanded with virtually uninterrupted traffic growth. Runway extensions and terminal enhancements were carried out to deal with the influx of traffic and passengers. New airlines began serving the airport also. These included ], ] and BKS. In 1958 a new transatlantic service was started by Aer Lingus via Shannon Airport. During the 1960s the number of scheduled carriers continued to grow and aircraft continued to evolve with technological advancement. By the close of the 1960s, a sizeable number of ]s, ]s, ]s, and ]s were using Dublin Airport on a regular basis. During 1969, 1,737,151 passengers travelled through Dublin Airport. | |||
In 1936, the ] established a new civil airline — ] — which began operating from ], at ]. A decision was made that a civil airport should replace Baldonnel as Dublin's airport. The Collinstown site was chosen and extended into the neighbouring townlands of Rock and Corballis. | |||
Work on the new airport began in 1937. By the end of 1939, a grass airfield surface, internal roads, car parks and electrical power and lighting were set up. The inaugural flight from Dublin took place on 19 January 1940 to ]. In August 1938, work began on a new ] building. The terminal building was designed by architect ], brother of politician ].<ref>{{Cite web |date=22 January 2010 |title=1937 – Dublin Airport – Architecture of Fingal – Archiseek.com |url=http://archiseek.com/2010/1937-dublin-airport/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120325211932/http://archiseek.com/2010/1937-dublin-airport/ |archive-date=25 March 2012 |access-date=2 June 2015 |website=Archiseek.com}}</ref> FitzGerald, who had designed an airport terminal as part of his college studies, led a team of architects that also included Kevin Barry, Daithí Hanley, Charles Aliaga Kelly, Dermot O'Toole and Harry Robson.

The terminal was awarded the Triennial Gold Medal of the Royal Hibernian Institute of Architects in 1942 and is today a listed building.{{cn|date=December 2023}} | |||
The advent of ] posed opportunities and challenges for aviation. In 1971 Aer Lingus took delivery of two new ] aircraft (a third Boeing 747 was delivered later that decade). To cope with this, a new passenger terminal capable of handling five million passengers per year was opened in 1972. The growth which was anticipated at the airport (and provided for through heavy investment by the airport and Aer Lingus) during the 1970s did not materialise immediately. | |||

Due to ], which was known as ] in Ireland, services were severely restricted at Dublin Airport until late 1945. The only international scheduled routes operated during this time were by Aer Lingus to Liverpool (and for a period to ]'s ]). The end of the war meant the beginning of a major expansion in services at the airport. Aer Lingus resumed its London service to Croydon in November 1945. In 1947, ] started the first European flights to Dublin with a service to ]. Three new concrete runways were completed in 1948, and in 1950 - after ten years in operation - the airport had welcomed a total of 920,000 passengers.<ref name="dublinairport.com">{{Cite web |title=History |url=https://www.dublinairport.com/about-us/did-you-know/history |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190402082108/https://www.dublinairport.com/about-us/did-you-know/history |archive-date=2 April 2019 |access-date=10 April 2019 |website=www.dublinairport.com}}</ref> | |||
===Continuing in the 1980s=== | |||
In 1983 Aer Lingus opened its 'Aer Lingus Commuter' division which took delivery of ], ], and ] ] aircraft to open regular daily domestic services to and from Ireland's smaller regional airports for the first time, as well as to serve existing routes to smaller regional airports in the United Kingdom. At various stages of its operations, flights were operated to several Irish regional airports to feed passengers into Aer Lingus's international network. These domestic destinations included ], Shannon Airport, ], Galway Airport, ], ], ], and ] in ]. Aer Lingus Commuter has since been re-absorbed into the main company. The domestic routes, with the exception of Dublin-Shannon, have been taken over by Aer Arann, including the route to ] in Northern Ireland. Aer Lingus has continued with the remaining Dublin-UK flights. | |||
===Expanding in the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s=== | |||
During the 1980s, major competition, especially on the Dublin-London routes, resulted in passenger numbers swelling to 5.1 million in 1989. In the same year a new {{convert|8650|ft|m|adj=on}} runway and a state-of-the-art air traffic control centre were opened. Dublin Airport continued to expand rapidly in the 1990s. Pier A, which had been the first extension to the old terminal building, was significantly extended. A new Pier C, complete with air bridges, was built and as soon as this was completed, work commenced to extend it to double its capacity. The ground floor of the original terminal building, which is today a listed building, was returned to passenger service after many years to provide additional departure gates. Pier D, completed in October 2007, is a dedicated low-fares boarding area and provides 14 quick turn-around stands and departure gates; these are not served by ]. | |||
Throughout the 1950s Dublin Airport expanded with virtually uninterrupted traffic growth. Runway extensions and terminal enhancements were carried out to deal with the influx of traffic and passengers. New airlines began serving the airport also. These included ], ], and ].<ref name="80s&90s">{{Cite web |title=Dublin Airport |url=https://ar-tour.com/guides/agm-2016/dublin-airport.aspx |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201008231535/https://ar-tour.com/guides/agm-2016/dublin-airport.aspx |archive-date=8 October 2020 |access-date=4 October 2020 |publisher=ARTOUR}}</ref> | |||
In 1958, a new transatlantic service was started by Aer Lingus via ]. By the mid-1950s, it was clear that the original terminal building was too small to cope with growing passenger numbers. A new North Terminal was opened in June 1959. Originally, the plan was that North Terminal would handle all US and European flights, but instead, it became the arrivals terminal for all Dublin Airport passengers, while the original passenger terminal was used for departures.<ref name="dublinairport.com" /><ref>{{cite news |title=Air transport important to economy, says Mr. Lemass |newspaper=The Irish Times |issue=32,353 |date=9 June 1959}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |last1=McDonald |first1=Frank |title=Why does Dublin Airport want to demolish North Terminal, an icon of Irish modernist architecture? |url=https://www.irishtimes.com/culture/2024/05/20/why-does-dublin-airport-want-to-demolish-north-terminal-an-icon-of-irish-modernist-architecture/? |access-date=22 May 2024 |newspaper=The Irish Times |date=22 May 2024 |language=en}}</ref> | |||
===The Bilateral Air Transport Agreement=== | |||
In 1993, a major milestone for the airport was the signing of a new United States-Republic of Ireland ] which allowed airlines to operate some direct transatlantic services for the first time to/from Dublin Airport instead of touching down en route at Shannon Airport on the west coast of Ireland (Shannon had once been a major ] refuelling stop for pre-], and this agreement was designed to protect the interests of the Shannon region when modern jets no longer required a refuelling stop and Shannon saw a fall-off in traffic). Airlines still had to provide an equal number of flights either to or through Shannon as to Dublin. A gradual further watering down of Shannon's so-called 'stopover' status came into effect in November 2006 when more direct flights to Dublin were allowed. The stopover requirement disappears completely in 2008. At that time, airlines will be allowed to fly direct to the US from Dublin without having to match these with any to/from Shannon. It is expected that this will result in a huge increase in services between Dublin and the US, and Aer Lingus has identified 16 destinations that it would like to serve direct from Dublin. | |||
During the 1960s, the number of scheduled carriers continued to grow. By the close of the 1960s, a sizeable number of ]s, ]s, ]s and ]s were using the airport regularly. In the late 1960s new departure gate piers were added close to the old terminal to cope with larger aircraft.<ref name="dublinairport.com" /> These piers would subsequently be connected to Terminal 1. During 1969, the airport handled 1,737,151 passengers.<ref name="80s&90s" /> | |||
===Recent history=== | |||
With the success of Ireland's ']' economy, Dublin Airport has seen growth in the 1990s and 2000s. This demand has been driven by an increased demand for business travel to and from the country, together with an increase in inward tourism, and a surge in demand for foreign holidays and city breaks from the ], who are now one of the wealthiest populations in the world. In January 2006, the number of trips abroad taken by the Irish outnumbered the number of inbound trips for the first time since records began. ] weekends in ] have increased in popularity (although London is still the top destination from Dublin). A further source of demand has been for flights to holiday homes and investment properties which have been snapped up by the property-hungry Irish across southern European holiday hotspots, the emerging economies of ], and beyond. | |||
In his 1969 book ''Irish Pubs of Character'', Roy Bulson describes the restaurant in Dublin airport as "one of the best airport restaurants in Europe" which served a ] lunch from noon until 3 pm, and hosted regular Saturday night dinner dances from October until April which had become very popular by that point.{{sfn|Bulson|1969|p=10}} The airport bar, ''The Shamrock Lounge'', operated from 7 am until 10:30 pm and included a cocktail bar from which the patron could watch the arrival and departure of aircraft.{{sfn|Bulson|1969|p=48}} A separate premises named the ''Fáilte Bar'' existed in the arrivals building.{{sfn|Bulson|1969|p=48}} | |||
Finally, the demand from Ireland's ], principally those from Eastern Europe, has resulted in a large number of new routes opening to destinations in the ] accession states. Ireland was one of only three European Union countries (as well as the United Kingdom and ]) to open its borders freely to workers from the ten accession states that joined the European Union in 2004. This resulted in hundreds of thousands of people moving to Ireland from these countries since then. | |||
] | |||
To give just one example of the 'Eastern Europe' effect, both ] and Aer Lingus separately opened a ]-Dublin route in 2004 to coincide with Poland joining the European Union. A patchy schedule was operated at first to test demand, but both airlines have since gone daily with this route, with LOT going double daily several days a week and Aer Lingus putting the larger Airbus A321 on the route. As of early 2007 - three years after ] joined the European Union - there are direct flights to ten cities in Poland alone, with a choice of several airlines on many routes. The Polish market grew from 143,000 passengers in 2005 to 580,000 in 2006 - an increase of over 400%. The Baltic states of ], ], and ] are also connected with direct flights to Dublin, as are the ], ], ], and ]. | |||
The advent of ] posed opportunities and challenges for aviation. In 1971, Aer Lingus took delivery of two new Boeing 747 aircraft; the first one arrived in March and, shortly afterwards, performed a flyover above ] in Dublin on ]; a third ] was delivered later that decade. To cope with this, a new £10 million passenger terminal capable of handling six million passengers per year, which became known as Terminal 1, was opened in June 1972.<ref name="dublinairport.com" /> The growth which was anticipated at Dublin's airport (and provided for through heavy investment by the airport and Aer Lingus) during the 1970s did not materialise immediately.{{citation needed|date=January 2022}} | |||

In 2005 ] launched a direct route to ] in the Middle East. This was followed by Aer Lingus's service to Dubai in March 2006, and ] service to Abu Dhabi in July 2007. Despite reportedly high loads, the Gulf Air service to Bahrain was cancelled in July 2007 as part of a broad restructuring plan. This move prompted Etihad Airways to bring forward the start date of its Abu Dhabi service by a number of months, and this too is reportedly performing very well for the airline. The Dublin Airport Authority announced as far back as the late 1990s that it would like to add a route to East Asia, however this has yet to materialise and Aer Lingus's poorly-performing route to Dubai was dropped at the end of March 2008.<ref></ref>. Etihad Airways are currently the only airline to offer a direct service to the Gulf area from Dublin, with onward connections to the Far East and Australia. | |||

During the 1980s, major competition, especially on the Dublin–London routes, resulted in passenger numbers swelling to 5.1 million in 1989. In the same year a new {{convert|8650|ft|abbr=on|adj=on}} runway and a state-of-the-art air traffic control centre were opened.

The requirement for transatlantic flights to land at Shannon was abolished when the Open Skies agreement came into effect in March 2008. This means that airlines may operate as many direct non-stop flights from any airport in Ireland to any airport in the USA as they wish. According to the Irish Department of Transport, 22 US cities have expressed interest in direct flights to Ireland.{{fact|date=March 2009}} | |||
===The Bilateral Air Transport Agreement=== | |||

In 1993, a major milestone for the airport was the signing of a new United States – Ireland ] which allowed airlines to operate some direct transatlantic services for the first time to/from Dublin Airport instead of touching down en route at Shannon Airport on the west coast of Ireland. (Shannon had once been a major transatlantic refuelling stop for pre-jet aircraft, and this agreement was designed to protect the interests of the Shannon region when modern jets no longer required a refuelling stop and Shannon saw a fall-off in traffic.) Airlines still had to provide an equal number of flights either to or through Shannon as to Dublin. A gradual further watering down of Shannon's so-called 'stopover' status came into effect in November 2006 when more direct flights to Dublin were allowed.<ref name="US-EU Agreement">{{Cite journal |date=2007-05-25 |title=Air Transport Agreement US - EU |url=https://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=OJ:L:2007:134:0004:0041:EN:PDF |journal=Journal of the European Union |publisher=] |number=L 134/4}}</ref> The stopover requirement disappeared completely in 2008.<ref name="US-EU Agreement" /> At that time, airlines were allowed to fly direct to the US from Dublin without having to match these with any to/from Shannon. It was expected that this would result in a huge increase in services between Dublin and the US and Aer Lingus identified 16 destinations that it would like to serve directly from Dublin. | |||
Dublin Airport is one of only two European airports with ] services for US-bound passengers (the other being Shannon Airport). It allows passengers to have their paperwork dealt with before departure saving time upon arrival in the US. However, due to congestion there are numerous flights that do not use this facility. It is planned to have Customs and Department of Agriculture checks in the new terminal, meaning flights will not have to land in international terminals on arrival in the USA, as all checks will have been completed. | |||
===Recent history=== | |||
==Aer Rianta and Dublin Airport Authority plc== | |||
With the success of Ireland's ']' economy, Dublin Airport saw growth in the 1990s and 2000s. This demand was driven by an increased demand for business travel to and from the country, together with an increase in inward tourism and a surge in demand for foreign holidays and city breaks from the ].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Passenger Numbers at Irish Airports - 2002 to 2015 |url=https://www.carhire.ie/airportpassengernumbers.php |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170321010528/https://www.carhire.ie/airportpassengernumbers.php |archive-date=21 March 2017 |access-date=13 January 2017 |publisher=Executive Trust Ltd}}</ref> | |||
The demand from Ireland's migrant workers, principally those from Eastern Europe, has resulted in a large number of new routes opening to destinations in the European Union accession states. Ireland was one of only three European Union countries (as well as the United Kingdom and Sweden) to open its borders freely to workers from the ten accession states that ]. | |||

In 2007 the then shortest runway, 11/29, was closed and converted to an aircraft storage area.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Dublin Airport 'loses' a runway to park planes |date=June 2007 |url=https://www.independent.ie/business/irish/dublin-airport-loses-a-runway-to-park-planes-26294640.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210420020131/https://www.independent.ie/business/irish/dublin-airport-loses-a-runway-to-park-planes-26294640.html |archive-date=20 April 2021 |access-date=19 April 2021 |publisher=Irish Independent}}</ref> This runway would subsequently be demolished for the construction of a second long runway parallel to 10/28. | |||
In October 2004, Aer Rianta (which means 'Air Ways' or 'Air Tracks' in Irish) was renamed the Dublin Airport Authority plc, following the State Airports Act 2004. All assets and liabilities previously owned by Aer Rianta were transferred to Dublin Airport Authority plc. The State Airports Act 2004 also established new airport authorities at Shannon and Cork Airports. The Shannon Airport Authority plc and the Cork Airport Authority plc have separate boards of directors and have been authorised under the Act to prepare business plans, which may in time lead to their full separation from the Dublin Airport Authority plc. | |||
The airport saw significant declines in traffic in 2009 and 2010, although since 2011 the airport has seen an increase in traffic. During 2012, this increase continued with passenger numbers growing by 1.9%. During 2013, passenger numbers at Dublin Airport were above the 20 million mark for the first time since 2009 with a 5.6% increase year on year. During 2014, this positive trend continued with an 8% increase over 2013. As of early December 2015, passenger figures have increased by 16% compared to 2014, and the previous record of 23.46 million passengers set in 2008 has already been passed.<ref>{{Cite web |date=4 December 2015 |title=Dublin Airport Breaks Annual Passenger Numbers Record |url=https://www.dublinairport.com/gns/at-the-airport/latest-news/15-12-04/Dublin_Airport_Breaks_Annual_Passenger_Numbers_Record.aspx |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160413095801/https://www.dublinairport.com/gns/at-the-airport/latest-news/15-12-04/Dublin_Airport_Breaks_Annual_Passenger_Numbers_Record.aspx |archive-date=13 April 2016 |access-date=13 January 2017 |publisher=Dublin Airport}}</ref> 2019 was the airport's busiest year, recording 32.9 million passengers - an increase in passenger numbers by 4% during the year.

As the largest gateway to Ireland, over 21.1 million passengers travelled through the airport in 2006, a 2.7 million (or 15%) increase over 2005. The main contributors to the growth in traffic in 2005 were the airport's routes to continental Europe (particularly Poland and the ]), North America, and the Middle East. Domestic and UK traffic had showed a small decline in 2005, but grew by 25% and 4% respectively in 2006. The decline in 2005 was due to a reduction in connecting traffic between Ireland's regional airports and the UK. This was as a result of a growing direct network of routes between those airports and the UK and ], dispensing with the need to transit at Dublin. But the organic demand at Dublin resulted in a net increase in those markets in 2006. Dublin Airport also welcomes over one million passengers per annum from across the border in Northern Ireland, whose largest airport is less than a quarter the size of Dublin in terms of passenger numbers. | |||

===Capacity=== | |||
Due to the phenomenal growth experienced at Dublin Airport in recent years, the facility is chronically congested.<ref></ref> 'Catch-up' has been a feature of how the authorities have been dealing with the growth in demand. One part or another of the airport has been a building site for the past two decades. Despite massive building works and extensions, it is widely accepted that the existing terminal building and infrastructure are insufficient to deal with the volume of passengers. Both the Irish Government and the Dublin Airport Authority have come under pressure from airlines and passengers alike to once-and-for-all provide a realistic increase in capacity for the future. As a result, the DAA plans to invest ]2 billion in a 10-year capital development programme to effectively double the size of the passenger facilities at Dublin Airport. | |||

The planning for Terminal 2 began in 2005 when the Irish Government directed the DAA (Dublin Airport Authority) to build a new terminal at Dublin Airport as part of its Aviation Action Plan which also included the sale of the majority share holding in Aer Lingus.<ref></ref> On 30 August 2006, the Dublin Airport Authority revealed its plans for a second terminal at Dublin Airport, to be located between the existing passenger terminal and the cargo terminal. London-based Pascall + Watson architects, specialists in airport design and master planning won the competition to design the facility. The cost of the overall project is put at €600 million which includes the terminal building itself, a new Pier building (Pier E) as well as upgrades to the internal road network at Dublin Airport and other associated infrastructure. The proposed 75,000m² second terminal would be capable of handling 15 million passengers, thereby allowing the airport to handle 35 million passengers a year. The new Terminal & Pier will provide 19 airbridges for aircraft, however it will also incorporate the existing Pier C which currently provides airlines with 6 airbridges. Another pier will be built to the south of Terminal 2, accommodating additional passenger aircraft, however this will require the relocation of the current cargo terminal. According to the airport authority, ] and other long-haul carriers would move to the new facility.<ref> </ref> | |||

The plans for Terminal 2 were met with objections from those who argued that, once built, it could not be extended to provide any additional capacity, owing to its location. Indeed, the proposed location of T2 would reduce the capacity of T1 because airbridges and departure gates would have to be removed from Pier C to provide space for aircraft stands at T2. It is argued that a second terminal should be located between the main runway and the proposed parallel runway. This arrangement, adopted by major hub airports such as ], ], ], ], ] and the currently constructed ], would provide space for T2 to expand and provide additional capacity before a third terminal would be required. A third terminal, which is in the blueprint for the future of the airport, would most likely be located between the parallel runways.<ref></ref> | |||

In October 2004, Aer Rianta (which is the Irish for 'Air Ways' or 'Air Tracks') was renamed Dublin Airport Authority plc, a result of the State Airports Act 2004. All assets and liabilities previously owned by Aer Rianta were transferred to Dublin Airport Authority. The State Airports Act 2004 also established new airport authorities at Shannon and Cork Airports. The Shannon Airport Authority and the Cork Airport Authority had separate boards of directors and were authorised under the Act to prepare business plans, which may have in time lead to their full separation from the Dublin Airport Authority. Following a decision by the Irish Government, Shannon Airport became a separate publicly owned airport on 31 December 2012. | |||
In July 2013, the Dublin Airport Authority was officially renamed "''DAA plc''" by the Irish Government. The rename was principally to remove the "Dublin" and "Authority" elements of the name which were seen to have little relevance to the overall functions of DAA.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Dublin Airport Guide.com – Dublin Airport Authority Renamed |url=http://www.dublinairportguide.com/daa-rename/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150702163951/http://www.dublinairportguide.com/daa-rename/ |archive-date=2 July 2015 |access-date=2 June 2015}}</ref> The name change announced in July 2013 took effect on 6 November 2014.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Press Releases > Name Change Takes Effect At daa |url=http://www.daa.ie/gns/media-centre/press-releases/14-11-06/Name_Change_Takes_Effect_At_daa.aspx |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150923212319/http://www.daa.ie/gns/media-centre/press-releases/14-11-06/Name_Change_Takes_Effect_At_daa.aspx |archive-date=23 September 2015 |access-date=2 June 2015}}</ref> | |||
===New runway=== | |||
A new runway measuring 3,110m is planned to be built parallel to the existing runway 10/28, which opened in 1989. Detailed proposals and planning permission were submitted to Fingal County Council (under whose jurisdiction Dublin Airport lies) and approved in April 2006. An appeal to ] (The Irish Planning Appeals Board), which determines appeals and other cases under the national planning acts, was heard in September 2006, and this resulted in the granting of permission in August 2007, with 31 planning conditions attached. | |||

In the meantime, the Authority has invested heavily in extending aprons and creating rapid exit taxiways to derive maximum efficiency from the existing main runway. Runway 11/29, the shortest and one of the oldest runways, is closed to allow overspill aircraft parking. This runway will disappear under the new parallel runway in due course. | |||
However, in December 2008, the Dublin Airport Authority announced that it would postpone the contruction of the new parallel runway by three to four years, on account of the need to cut costs and predictions of falling consumer demand for air travel. This is a result of the ].<ref></ref> | |||

For many years, it was expected that ], the state railway company, would extend the ] (DART) with a rail spur off the Dublin to Belfast line that would serve the airport and Swords. However, these plans have been replaced with plans for an underground metro line, which would bypass the DART line and run from the city centre to the town of Swords, via the Airport. Following public consultation, the route for the new line, to be called ] was announced on 19 October 2006 and is designed to connect with several other modes of transport.<ref name="metro"/> | |||
===New air traffic control complex=== | |||
At St Stephen's Green, in Dublin's southern city centre, ] will connect with the ] (Dublin's light rail tram system) Green line, as well as the proposed DART underground interconnector between Heuston and Connolly ]way stations. From there ] will run through the city centre, with a stop at ], providing access from both sides of the ], and a connection with the ] Red line. The third city centre stop will be at ], in Dublin's northern city centre, in an area which the city council is redeveloping into a new cultural/museum quarter. | |||
The construction of a new control complex was required, as the location, height and visibility of the existing tower would be inadequate to operate the planned 10L/28R Runway. | |||
The line will then take in a stop at the ], one of Dublin's major hospitals, and then Drumcondra railway station, which will provide a connection with the line to ], a commuter and university town. ] and the suburb of ] are also on the route. | |||

Dublin Airport (Irish: Aerfort Bhaile Átha Cliath) (IATA: DUB, ICAO: EIDW) is an international airport serving Dublin, Ireland. It is operated by DAA (formerly Dublin Airport Authority). The airport is located in Collinstown, 7 km (4.3 mi) north of Dublin, and 3 km (1.9 mi) south of the town of Swords. In 2019, 32.9 million passengers passed through the airport, making it the airport's busiest year on record. It is the 13th busiest airport in Europe, and is the busiest of Ireland's airports by total passenger traffic; it also has the largest traffic levels on the island of Ireland, followed by Belfast International Airport.
The airport has an extensive short and medium haul network, served by an array of carriers, as well as a significant long-haul network focused on North America and the Middle East. It serves as a hub for Ireland's flag carrier Aer Lingus, and is the home base for Europe's largest low-cost carrier Ryanair. British airline TUI Airways also operates a base at the airport.
United States border preclearance services are available at the airport for U.S.-bound passengers. Shannon Airport is the only other airport in Europe to offer this facility.
History
Collinstown Aerodrome
The airport began as a wartime aerodrome located in the townland of Collinstown, Fingal. In 1917, during World War I, Collinstown was selected as the base for the British Royal Flying Corps. By April 1918, when the Flying Corps was renamed the Royal Air Force, Collinstown Aerodrome was more than 20% complete. Construction was completed in 1919 when the Irish War of Independence broke out. On 20 March 1919, a group of 30 Irish Volunteers, including five employed by the RAF, stole 75 rifles and 5,000 rounds of ammunition from the base. As Collinstown Camp, the site was used for internment of Irish republicans. At the end of 1922, the land and buildings at Collinstown were transferred to the Irish Free State. The airfield fell into disrepair and grass grew on the former runways.
The beginnings in the 1930s and 1940s
In 1936, the Executive Council of the Irish Free State established a new civil airline — Aer Lingus — which began operating from Casement Aerodrome, at Baldonnel. A decision was made that a civil airport should replace Baldonnel as Dublin's airport. The Collinstown site was chosen and extended into the neighbouring townlands of Rock and Corballis.
Work on the new airport began in 1937. By the end of 1939, a grass airfield surface, internal roads, car parks and electrical power and lighting were set up. The inaugural flight from Dublin took place on 19 January 1940 to Liverpool. In August 1938, work began on a new airport terminal building. The terminal building was designed by architect Desmond FitzGerald, brother of politician Garret FitzGerald. FitzGerald, who had designed an airport terminal as part of his college studies, led a team of architects that also included Kevin Barry, Daithí Hanley, Charles Aliaga Kelly, Dermot O'Toole and Harry Robson. The terminal building opened in early 1941, with its design heavily influenced by the tiered structure of the luxury ocean liners of the time. The terminal was awarded the Triennial Gold Medal of the Royal Hibernian Institute of Architects in 1942 and is today a listed building.
Due to World War II, which was known as The Emergency in Ireland, services were severely restricted at Dublin Airport until late 1945. The only international scheduled routes operated during this time were by Aer Lingus to Liverpool (and for a period to Manchester's Barton Aerodrome). The end of the war meant the beginning of a major expansion in services at the airport. Aer Lingus resumed its London service to Croydon in November 1945. In 1947, KLM started the first European flights to Dublin with a service to Amsterdam. Three new concrete runways were completed in 1948, and in 1950 - after ten years in operation - the airport had welcomed a total of 920,000 passengers.
Expanding in the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s
Throughout the 1950s Dublin Airport expanded with virtually uninterrupted traffic growth. Runway extensions and terminal enhancements were carried out to deal with the influx of traffic and passengers. New airlines began serving the airport also. These included British European Airways, Sabena, and BKS.
In 1958, a new transatlantic service was started by Aer Lingus via Shannon Airport. By the mid-1950s, it was clear that the original terminal building was too small to cope with growing passenger numbers. A new North Terminal was opened in June 1959. Originally, the plan was that North Terminal would handle all US and European flights, but instead, it became the arrivals terminal for all Dublin Airport passengers, while the original passenger terminal was used for departures.
During the 1960s, the number of scheduled carriers continued to grow. By the close of the 1960s, a sizeable number of Boeing 737s, BAC One-Elevens, Boeing 707s and Hawker Siddeley Tridents were using the airport regularly. In the late 1960s new departure gate piers were added close to the old terminal to cope with larger aircraft. These piers would subsequently be connected to Terminal 1. During 1969, the airport handled 1,737,151 passengers.
In his 1969 book Irish Pubs of Character, Roy Bulson describes the restaurant in Dublin airport as "one of the best airport restaurants in Europe" which served a table d'hôte lunch from noon until 3 pm, and hosted regular Saturday night dinner dances from October until April which had become very popular by that point. The airport bar, The Shamrock Lounge, operated from 7 am until 10:30 pm and included a cocktail bar from which the patron could watch the arrival and departure of aircraft. A separate premises named the Fáilte Bar existed in the arrivals building.
The advent of wide-body aircraft posed opportunities and challenges for aviation. In 1971, Aer Lingus took delivery of two new Boeing 747 aircraft; the first one arrived in March and, shortly afterwards, performed a flyover above O'Connell Street in Dublin on Saint Patrick's Day; a third Boeing 747 was delivered later that decade. To cope with this, a new £10 million passenger terminal capable of handling six million passengers per year, which became known as Terminal 1, was opened in June 1972. The growth which was anticipated at Dublin's airport (and provided for through heavy investment by the airport and Aer Lingus) during the 1970s did not materialise immediately.
On 30 November 1975, one person was killed and eight others were injured when the airport was bombed by the Ulster Defence Association.
Continuing in the 1980s and 1990s
In 1983 Aer Lingus opened its 'Aer Lingus Commuter' division which took delivery of Shorts, Saab AB and Fokker turboprop aircraft to open regular daily domestic services to and from Ireland's smaller regional airports for the first time, as well as to serve existing routes to smaller regional airports in the United Kingdom. At various stages of its operations, flights were operated to several Irish regional airports to feed passengers into Aer Lingus's international network. These domestic destinations included Cork Airport, Shannon Airport (the "Shannon stopover"), Kerry Airport, Galway Airport, Ireland West Airport, Waterford Airport, Sligo Airport and City of Derry Airport. Aer Lingus Commuter has since been re-absorbed into the main company. The domestic routes, with the exception of Dublin-Shannon, were taken over by Aer Arann. Most of these routes have since been discontinued as the development of the motorway network in Ireland has resulted in significant reductions in travelling time by road. Aer Lingus has continued with the remaining Dublin–UK flights.
During the 1980s, major competition, especially on the Dublin–London routes, resulted in passenger numbers swelling to 5.1 million in 1989. In the same year a new 8,650 ft (2,640 m) runway and a state-of-the-art air traffic control centre were opened. Dublin Airport continued to expand rapidly in the 1990s, with 5.5 million passengers in 1991. Pier A, which had been the first extension to the old terminal building, was significantly extended. A new Pier C, complete with air bridges, was built and as soon as this was completed, work commenced to extend it to double its capacity. The ground floor of the original terminal building was returned to passenger service after many years to provide additional departure gates. Pier D, completed in October 2007, is a dedicated low-fares boarding area and provides 14 quick turn-around stands and departure gates; these are not served by air bridges.
The Bilateral Air Transport Agreement
In 1993, a major milestone for the airport was the signing of a new United States – Ireland bilateral agreement which allowed airlines to operate some direct transatlantic services for the first time to/from Dublin Airport instead of touching down en route at Shannon Airport on the west coast of Ireland. (Shannon had once been a major transatlantic refuelling stop for pre-jet aircraft, and this agreement was designed to protect the interests of the Shannon region when modern jets no longer required a refuelling stop and Shannon saw a fall-off in traffic.) Airlines still had to provide an equal number of flights either to or through Shannon as to Dublin. A gradual further watering down of Shannon's so-called 'stopover' status came into effect in November 2006 when more direct flights to Dublin were allowed. The stopover requirement disappeared completely in 2008. At that time, airlines were allowed to fly direct to the US from Dublin without having to match these with any to/from Shannon. It was expected that this would result in a huge increase in services between Dublin and the US and Aer Lingus identified 16 destinations that it would like to serve directly from Dublin.
Recent history
With the success of Ireland's 'Celtic Tiger' economy, Dublin Airport saw growth in the 1990s and 2000s. This demand was driven by an increased demand for business travel to and from the country, together with an increase in inward tourism and a surge in demand for foreign holidays and city breaks from the Irish.
The demand from Ireland's migrant workers, principally those from Eastern Europe, has resulted in a large number of new routes opening to destinations in the European Union accession states. Ireland was one of only three European Union countries (as well as the United Kingdom and Sweden) to open its borders freely to workers from the ten accession states that joined the European Union in 2004.
In 2007 the then shortest runway, 11/29, was closed and converted to an aircraft storage area. This runway would subsequently be demolished for the construction of a second long runway parallel to 10/28.
The airport saw significant declines in traffic in 2009 and 2010, although since 2011 the airport has seen an increase in traffic. During 2012, this increase continued with passenger numbers growing by 1.9%. During 2013, passenger numbers at Dublin Airport were above the 20 million mark for the first time since 2009 with a 5.6% increase year on year. During 2014, this positive trend continued with an 8% increase over 2013. As of early December 2015, passenger figures have increased by 16% compared to 2014, and the previous record of 23.46 million passengers set in 2008 has already been passed. 2019 was the airport's busiest year, recording 32.9 million passengers - an increase in passenger numbers by 4% during the year. Long-haul passenger numbers increased by 4% to almost 5.2 million, while Short-haul traffic increased by 5% to 27.7 million.
In August 2019, Dublin Airport was chosen for the Special Achievement in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) award for its use of mapping software from ESRI Ireland.
Due to the pandemic and its impact, the airport lost 115 routes, as in January 2021, it scheduled flights to just 85 cities, down from 200 before the crisis began.
On several separate days in early 2023, reports of drone sightings at the airport led to the delay and cancellation of several flights. On 4 February 2023, for example, flights were disrupted for 45 minutes after two confirmed drone sightings. And, on 6 February 2023, flights were impacted for approximately 40 minutes. As it is illegal to operate a drone within 5 kilometers of an Irish airfield, DAA called for the Garda Síochana to introduce a counter-drone system and for the government to increase sentences for offenders. Ryanair also called for the government to take immediate action. One man was arrested later in February 2023, and was charged under the Air Navigation and Transport Act. As of April 2024, two men had been charged and due to be tried, separately, for allegedly flying drones near the airport.
Long-haul traffic
As of August 2019, there are services to 31 intercontinental destinations from Dublin Airport (not including Anatolia). In 2007, Etihad Airways began operating between Dublin Airport and Abu Dhabi, and increased its capacity to 14 weekly flights in March 2010. In addition, Emirates has served Dublin from Dubai since January 2012. A total of 22 cities in North America are connected directly to Dublin Airport by seven airlines. In 2015, Ethiopian Airlines began serving Dublin from Addis Ababa, thus inaugurating the first direct air link between Ireland and Sub-Saharan Africa. In 2017, Qatar Airways commenced a daily service to Dublin Airport from Doha.
Services to East Asia
The Government of Ireland, owner of Dublin Airport, and the Dublin Airport Authority, its operator, have long sought to connect Dublin with East Asia by direct air service. Their plans were realized in 2018 when Cathay Pacific launched 4 weekly direct flights between Dublin and Hong Kong. This was followed by services to Beijing-Capital (via Edinburgh) and Shenzhen (nonstop), launched by Hainan Airlines in June 2018 and January 2019, respectively. In August 2019, however, Hainan Airlines withdrew from Dublin entirely. In September, due to the ongoing political unrest in Hong Kong, Cathay Pacific restricted its previously year-round Hong Kong route to the summer season only.
Shannon Stopover and Open Skies
In the mid twentieth century, the Irish government introduced a rule stating that all air traffic between Ireland and the United States must transit through Shannon Airport. In return, the United States government placed a limit of four airports in the US that Aer Lingus could operate to. On 22 March 2007, the Open skies agreement between the US and EU was ratified. This resulted in the immediate cancellation of the long-running 'Shannon Stopover' requirement, whereby the Irish government had insisted that 50% of all transatlantic flights between Ireland and the United States must pass through Shannon Airport.
US border preclearance
Dublin Airport is one of only two airports in Europe, and three outside the Americas, with United States border preclearance services for US-bound passengers (the other airports are Ireland's Shannon Airport and Abu Dhabi International Airport in the United Arab Emirates). Those traveling on nonstop flights to the United States complete immigration and customs procedures in Dublin prior to their departure, and are treated as domestic passengers on arrival.
Aer Rianta and DAA/Dublin Airport Authority
Main article: DAA (Irish company)In October 2004, Aer Rianta (which is the Irish for 'Air Ways' or 'Air Tracks') was renamed Dublin Airport Authority plc, a result of the State Airports Act 2004. All assets and liabilities previously owned by Aer Rianta were transferred to Dublin Airport Authority. The State Airports Act 2004 also established new airport authorities at Shannon and Cork Airports. The Shannon Airport Authority and the Cork Airport Authority had separate boards of directors and were authorised under the Act to prepare business plans, which may have in time lead to their full separation from the Dublin Airport Authority. Following a decision by the Irish Government, Shannon Airport became a separate publicly owned airport on 31 December 2012.
In July 2013, the Dublin Airport Authority was officially renamed "DAA plc" by the Irish Government. The rename was principally to remove the "Dublin" and "Authority" elements of the name which were seen to have little relevance to the overall functions of DAA. The name change announced in July 2013 took effect on 6 November 2014.
As the largest gateway to Ireland, over 25 million passengers travelled through the airport in 2015, a 15% increase over the previous year. The main contributors to the growth in traffic in 2015 were the 23 new routes launched during the year and extra capacity on 40 existing services. Both long-haul and short-haul traffic increased by 15% in 2015. A record 8.9 million people travelled between Dublin Airport and Britain during 2015, which was a 14% increase on the previous year. Dublin Airport also welcomes more than one million passengers per annum from Northern Ireland and is a key international gateway for overseas visitors to Northern Ireland, whose largest airport is less than a quarter the size of Dublin in terms of passenger numbers.
Passenger terminals
Terminal 1
The current Terminal 1 building opened in 1972 was designed to handle five million passengers per year. The original design included a second pier which would have been identical to the current decagon-shaped boarding Pier B, but this was never built. A car park was originally located on the upper floor of the building and the access ramps are still in place but it was closed for security reasons in the 1970s and converted into offices. Terminal 1 has been regularly extended and improved over the last two decades. In October 2007, a new pier designed by Larry Oltmanns, while design director of the London office of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, who also designed graphics for its interior, was opened to the north of Terminal 1. This pier caters for the majority of Ryanair flights. In 2009, a new extension featuring new food and retail outlets was added to the side of Terminal 1. Terminal 1 is currently home to all airlines except Aer Lingus, American Airlines, British Airways, Delta Air Lines, Emirates, Iberia Express, JetBlue, United Airlines and Vueling.
Terminal 2
Terminal 2 is a 75,000 m (810,000 sq ft) terminal and pier (Pier E) which provides aircraft parking for 27 narrow body aircraft through 25 departure gates and 16 immigration desks which can handle up to 15 million passengers annually. The project was designed by Pascall+Watson architects and the total cost was €600 million. Aer Lingus is the main carrier operating at Terminal 2 and since its opening have developed a hub at Dublin primarily for traffic traveling between Europe and the United States. Terminal 2 is now the transatlantic gateway for flights to the United States as it features a US pre-clearance immigration facility which was previously housed in Terminal 1.
Construction of Terminal 2 began on 1 October 2007, and it was officially opened on 19 November 2010 by the then Taoiseach Brian Cowen T.D. The intended purpose of Terminal 2 was to house all long-haul carriers in addition to Aer Lingus; however significant growth in US traffic has resulted in most long haul carriers flying outside the United States remaining in Terminal 1. During the design of Terminal 2 provisions were made for an expanded check in hall and additional pier (Pier F) to cater for future growth. Terminal 2 is currently home to IAG airlines Aer Lingus, British Airways, Iberia Express and Vueling, and U.S. carriers American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, JetBlue and United Airlines. Emirates also operates from the terminal.
Safety and security
DAA has its own branch of the Airport Police Service which is mandated to provide aviation and general policing at the airport. The Airport Police Station is centrally located on the Arrivals road between Terminals 1 and 2. The airport also has its own Airport Fire and Rescue Service which provides cover to the entire campus, its roadways and lands.
The Office of the Revenue Commissioners provide a customs service to both passenger and cargo terminals, while the Department of Agriculture also has a presence in the airport. Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service performs immigration checks on all international passengers arriving at the airport. The Gardaí also have a small sub-station located beside the old terminal.
In 2016 it was confirmed that Garda Armed Support Units (ASU) would be deployed overtly to patrol Dublin Airport and Dublin Port full-time on foot inside terminal buildings and via vehicles outside and surrounding the perimeter to counter the rising threat of terrorist attacks in Europe.

Airport developments
New air traffic control complex
The construction of a new control complex was required, as the location, height and visibility of the existing tower would be inadequate to operate the planned 10L/28R Runway.
The new complex opened on 15 June 2022. At nearly 87 metres (285 ft) high, it is the tallest inhabited structure in Ireland. It has space for twelve operators as opposed to the five of the previous tower and a 360 degree view of the Airport and its surroundings. The new complex will be ideal for simultaneous operation of 10R/28L and 10L/28R.
The old control complex will become a contingent tower in case of emergency.
New runway
After a delay of several years due to the global financial crisis and predictions of falling consumer demand, it was announced in April 2016 that a new runway would start construction in 2017 and to be completed by 2021.
On 8 October 2020, the existing runway 10/28 was redesignated as 10R/28L in anticipation of the new runway becoming 10L/28R.
The new runway measuring 3,110 m (10,203 ft) opened on 24 August 2022 parallel to the existing runway 10R/28L, which opened (as runway 10/28) in 1989. Planning permission for the runway was originally granted in August 2007, with 31 planning conditions attached. The new runway runs parallel to the north of runway 10R/28L and allows the airport to accommodate 30 million passengers annually, at a length of 3,110 m (10,203 ft). In March 2009 the DAA announced in a proposal for consultation that the new runway may be built to a length of 3,660 m (12,008 ft) following consultation with potential long-haul carriers. A runway of this length would allow direct flights from Dublin to the Far East. The runway cost in the region of €320 million. The airport also has invested heavily in extending aprons and creating rapid exit taxiways to derive maximum efficiency from the existing main runway. Runway 16/34 is most often used in the evening, depending on airport construction. In the day, 16/34 is generally used as a taxiway for aircraft utilizing runway 10R/28L. The first flight on the new runway was Ryanair flight FR1964 to Eindhoven at 11:00 UTC on 24 August 2022.
Future developments
A number of infrastructure additions and improvements are planned for the airport in the coming years, including two new passenger piers, expanded aircraft parking and apron facilities, an airside tunnel which will link the terminal area with remote stands and an expanded United States border preclearance facility.
Proposed third terminal
Developers have proposed the development of a new terminal to the west of the existing terminal campus. The land owners and DAA have to date been unable to come to an agreement on the development of the land and discussions are ongoing.

Ground transport
Dublin Airport is located just off the M1 and the M50 10 km (6.2 mi) north from the city centre and 2 km (1.2 mi) south of the town of Swords. There is no rail link to Dublin city centre, and the public transport options to the city are taxis, buses and private transport.
Bus services
Dublin Airport is served by a large network of bus and coach routes, serving both the wider Dublin area and the rest of Ireland. More than 700 buses a day service Dublin Airport. In addition, Dublin Bus and Go-Ahead Ireland run local stopping services that serve such residential areas as Santry, Swords, Rathfarnham, Ballinteer, Sutton, Malahide, Beaumont, Harold's Cross, Terenure, Drumcondra, Balbriggan, Skerries, Rush and Portmarnock.
Aircoach offers a number of coach services from the Airport to the Dublin area, serving both the city centre and surrounding areas including Leopardstown, Sandyford, Bray and Dún Laoghaire.
Dublin Coach links Portlaoise and Red Cow Luas to Dublin Airport.
Dublin Express runs non-stop coach services to the city centre via the Port Tunnel, offering interchange with the rail network at Tara Street station as well as serving other city centre destinations such as Heuston Station the main railway station connecting to Cork, Waterford, Limerick and Galway etc.
Bus Éireann has 18 routes from Dublin Airport to places such as Waterford, Drogheda and Dundalk Ulsterbus Goldline offer cross-border bus services to Belfast. Translink solely operate services to Derry via either Monaghan and Omagh, or Armagh and Cookstown respectively.
Aircoach runs longer distance services to Cork City and Belfast, whilst Citylink and Gobus offer services to Galway, Éirebus and JJ Kavanagh operate regular services to Carlow, Limerick, Kilkenny and Waterford. Wexfordbus connects the airport with Wexford, and John McGinley Coaches also connects the airport with Donegal ending in Annagry.
Taxi
Taxis are available at taxi ranks located directly outside of Terminal 1 and Terminal 2.
Rail
There is no direct rail connection to Dublin Airport. However, Iarnród Éireann (Irish Rail) provide suburban and intercity railway services from Dublin Connolly and Dublin Heuston railway stations, and there are regular bus services from both stations to the airport. Some city bus services serve Drumcondra suburban railway station, which is on the Connolly to Maynooth railway line while the 102 route connects Dublin Airport to Sutton DART station. Bus services to Busáras/Dublin Connolly and Dublin Heuston railway stations connect with the Luas Red Line.
Proposed rail link
For many years, it was expected that Iarnród Éireann would extend the Dublin Area Rapid Transit (DART) to serve the airport. These plans were replaced with a proposal for an underground metro line, which would run from the city centre to Swords via the airport. The route for the line, initially known as Metro North, was announced in October 2006 and was proposed to connect with several other modes of transport. In 2011, it was announced that the Metro North plan would be deferred due to a lack of funding. As of July 2022, the project had been renamed to MetroLink and proposed to begin construction in 2025 and that, "all going well" it could be in operation by 2035.
