Dublin Airport

How do you re-paint the lines on a runway that welcomes 600+ takeoffs and landings every single day? The markings need to be re-done up to six times per year. Here’s how it’s done… ✈️

Together, Dublin Airport and Cork Airport contribute a massive €10.6 billion to the Irish economy and support over 128,000 jobs nationwide 👏 From direct jobs at the airports to the indirect boosts to local businesses, tourism, trade, investment and productivity, we are proud of our role in connecting Ireland to the world 🌍

Last week saw the long-awaited launch of Aer Lingus’ new direct flight to Las Vegas. Passengers enjoyed a bit of fun (and donuts!) at the departure gate. And a very special guest popped along to make sure nobody was lonesome…🕺 🎤 ✈️

Don’t forget — Dublin Airport Community Fund applications close tomorrow, Friday, 25 October. We’re thrilled to have recently supported Ballymun Regional Youth Resource (BRYR) with the launch of their new sensory garden at the Reco Youth Centre, funded by the Dublin Airport Community Fund! This is just one example of the positive impact our funding is having, and we can’t wait to see what comes next 👏

That’s a wrap on Day 2 of our Difference Days. Over 60 of our Dublin Airport team worked together to build a brand-new outdoor classroom and recreational area at River Valley Community Centre today. The team did an amazing job, and we can’t wait to see it in use. A big thanks to all our volunteers for making it happen! 👏

Our new concierge-style parking service, Drop & Go, has arrived – and here’s how it works 😉

If you’re passing by Dublin Airport this week you’ll see the entrance road and terminals are lit up in pink and blue. The lights are in place to mark Pregnancy and Baby Loss Awareness Week, which runs until October 15th, and to support the work of A Little Lifetime Foundation, which is one of daa’s chosen charity of the year partners. 🔵🟣
