Dublin Airport

Dublin Airport (Irish: Aerfort Bhaile Átha Cliath), is operated by the Dublin Airport Authority.

Located in Collinstown, in the Fingal part of County Dublin, it is by far the busiest airport in Ireland - over 23.3 million passengers passed through the airport in 2007.
Passenger traffic at Dublin Airport is predominantly international; only 900,000 of its 23.2 million passengers in 2007 were domestic.

The airport is located 10 km (6.2 mi) north of Dublin City in a once rural area near Swords, and is served by buses and taxis.
An underground railway line called 'Metro North' which will connect the airport to Swords and Dublin city centre has been approved and is in development.

The airport is the headquarters of Ireland's flag carrier Aer Lingus, and Europe's largest no-frills airline Ryanair. Ireland's third airline, CityJet, is based in the nearby town of Swords. Irish domestic and regional airline, Aer Arann, provides several domestic and UK routes from Dublin, but while part of its administration is based at Dublin Airport, its base is Galway Airport in the west of Ireland.

The airport has an extensive short and medium haul network, served by an array of carriers. Domestic services are offered to most regional Irish airports. There are approximately 50 daily departures from Dublin to all five London airports (Stansted, Luton, Gatwick, Heathrow and London City), as well as most of the bigger regional British airports, particularly Manchester.
There is also a reasonably sized long-haul network. Aer Lingus serves many popular US destinations, and has been able to add more thanks to the new open skies deal. US legacy carriers also serve the airport from major US hubs. Etihad Airways operates a daily service between the airport and Abu Dhabi.

United States border preclearance services are available at the airport for US-bound passengers, Dublin being one of only two European airports with this facility.
