Dublin Airport celebrated a record-breaking summer as September passenger numbers have been released.
Over 3million passengers travelled through the airport last month, which was +3.6% higher than in the same month in 2024. Dublin Airport had more than 100,000 passengers, with 18 days in the month seeing more than 110,000 passengers passing through, and six days coming in above 120,000.
Passenger figures saw a boost thanks to the first-ever NFL match in the capital, where upwards of 30,000 fans of the Pittsburgh Steelers and Minnesota Vikings from North America flew into Dublin Airport. The busiest day was Friday, September 26 with 123,132 passengers going through the two terminals.
Additionally, the airport finally removed the 100ml liquid limit at security last month, following the completion of the roll-out of new C3 scanners in both Terminal 1 and Terminal 2.
Daa CEO Kenny Jacobs said: “Passengers are loving the fact that they no longer need to remove liquids or electronics from their hand luggage when going through security screening and this is helping to make their experience at security even smoother and safer.
“daa’s investment in the passenger product won’t stop there either, with work progressing on a doubling in size of the T1 Lounge, as well as a new and improved Fast Track facility in T1. Work is also underway on the fit-out of a new Irish bar, while a full renovation of the 51st and Green lounge in T2 has also just started.”
