@DublinAirport Great news! Dublin Airport has been ranked in the top 20 airports in the world (17th actually!) in terms of the number of unique destinations we offer to passengers. A total of 193 destinations around the globe can now be reached from Dublin Airport.

@EoinBearla Ryanair has announced five new routes to Barcelona, Fuerteventura, Paris, Seville and Treviso, and increased frequencies on six winter sun routes – Faro, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote, Malaga, Rome and Tenerife – for this winter season out of #Cork Airport

@Independent_ie Dublin Airport needs to be able to charge airlines between €10 and €11 per passenger in order to deliver the “fantastic infrastructure” that it needs, according to DAA chief executive Kenny Jacobs.

@Irelandwest A record 102,000 passengers travelled through Ireland West Airport during the month of August, making it the busiest month in the airports 38-year history.  

@Irelandwest Management at Ireland West Airport had the pleasure of welcoming the Latvian Ambassador to Ireland, H.E, Mr. Juris Štālmeistars, to the airport this week for a meeting to discuss future co-operation and the potential for a new service between Ireland West Airport and Riga airport in Latvia.
