Location

Dublin, Ireland

Dublin Airport (IATA: DUB, ICAO: EIDW) is the primary international airport serving Dublin, Ireland, and the busiest airport on the island of Ireland. Operated by daa (Dublin Airport Authority), it handles tens of millions of passengers annually and serves as a major hub for transatlantic and European traffic. The airport is home to Aer Lingus and Ryanair, two of Europe's most significant carriers, and offers a unique U.S. Customs and Border Protection pre-clearance facility, allowing passengers to clear U.S. immigration formalities before departure. This pre-clearance service is one of only a handful operating outside North America. Dublin Airport is located approximately 10 kilometres north of Dublin city centre and has undergone significant infrastructure expansion in recent decades, including the addition of Terminal 2, which opened in 2010 to accommodate growing passenger demand.

Getting to & from

Dublin Airport is served by Aircoach and Dublin Bus services, taxi and ride-hailing options, and the Airlink express bus connecting to the city centre, with a planned MetroLink rail connection under development.
