Almost 50,000 people will travel through Dublin Airport this weekend, as just over 150,000 people will either arrive or depart from the airport this week. However these numbers are way down on 2019 comparisons as 782,000 flew into or out of Dublin Airport in the same week two years ago, an 81pc decrease. This comes as Brussels-based Eurocontrol have said Dublin Airport has lost almost 252,000 flights since the pandemic began. The busiest airline at Dublin Airport continues to be Ryanair, with an average of 100 departures a day. Eurocontrol said that the top destination from Dublin is the UK, with an average of 26 daily departures.
