Dublin DUB Airport Overview
Dublin Airport DUB (Aerofort Bhaile Atha Cliath) is not only Ireland's busiest airport, but is also among the busiest airports in Europe. In terms of customer service a most recent ACI study determined that Dublin came in as number four among 28 European airports within the same passenger count.
The Airport is located in Collinstown, in the Fingal part of County of Dublin, near the city of Swords, and is only 10 km north of Dublin City, Republic of Ireland, and accessible directly via the N9, connecting shortly thereafter to the M50 motorway encircling part of Dublin, and connecting to motorways N2, N3, N4, N7, N91/92 and N11.

With two runways (a third parallel runway to be built) and an estimated 18.4 million passengers a year, the Airport is hub for Aer Lingus, Aer Lingus Regional, and Ryanair, and is served by a multitude of domestic, international, low-fare and charter airlines, offering direct and connecting flights to all points of the globe.
Starting June 2012 United will depart daily from Terminal 2 for the Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD. This brings the North American destinations to 10 (Atlanta, Boston, Charlotte, Chicago, New York, Newark, Orlando, Philadelphia, Toronto & Washington).
NOTE: Presently Dublin Airport is one of the few airports outside North America with U.S. border preclearance services for US-bound passengers - meaning after arrving in the U.S., they can forego the 30-45 minute immigration & customs procedure.
On-Airport hotels Clarion & Radisson are located on either side of the airport's circle road.
The passenger terminal complex at Dublin Airport now consists of two terminals - Domestic T1 & International T2 - connected landside by a new 100-meter pedestrian corridor. (For detailed terminal information, click on 'Terminal Map'.)
