Dublin report reported a record 3,752,254 passenger numbers in July, up 6.9pc on 2024 and 9.4pc on pre-pandemic. Number of flights was 24,596 for the month.
Busiest day of 2025 so far was Sunday June 29 with 129,268 passengers. Buiest day of July was Sunday, July 27, with 126,620 passengers.
The top five busiest routes were Heathrow, Amsterdam, Malaga, Manchester and Faro.
Kenny Jacobs shared: “Demand to fly in and out of Dublin Airport has never been higher and the record numbers in July included a strong flow of tourists and visitors from overseas and also Irish residents heading abroad for their annual summer break. The big numbers travelling in June and July mean we are revising upwards our expected total passenger number for the year, and we now forecast that around 36.2 million passengers will have used Dublin Airport by year-end.
“The growing numbers are a stark reminder of the fallacy of having an out-dated cap on passenger numbers and of the need for the government to follow through on its commitment to do “whatever we can” to remove the needless restriction. We, once again, encourage the government to share the solutions under consideration and the timeline to get this done.
“Passenger numbers hit record numbers in July and the infrastructure in and around Dublin Airport coped admirably, due in no small part to the hard work of the brilliant airport team. Inside the terminals, security screening moved swiftly, passengers enjoyed the many great new food and drink options and other amenities, while on the road network around the airport cars, buses and taxis moved freely.
“My thanks to all the hardworking employees who make this a smooth and enjoyable journey for all our passengers.”
