With 14 extra routes compared to last Summer, Ryanair will operate over 2,000 weekly flights to/from Dublin Airport this Summer, connecting 130 destinations across 27 countries, incl. top European destinations across Croatia, Greece, France, Italy, Portugal and Spain among many more.

This expanded Summer schedule is underpinned by an increase in the number of B737 Gamechangers based at Dublin rising from 11 up to 16. These more enviro efficient aircraft carry 4% more passengers, burn 16% less fuel and most importantly, generate 40% less noise on Dublin Airport’s new north runway.

Ryanair will carry over 16m passengers to/from Dublin this year, delivering more traffic, more jobs, and more low fares than any other airline. However, if we are to continue to grow and to drive recovery and connectivity to Dublin in the long term, the daa must keep airport charges competitive. Projects, like the €200m tunnel that increases costs unnecessarily, are not wanted by airlines and only damage the economy by driving capacity to more competitive European airports.

To celebrate the launch of Ryanair’s Summer ‘23 schedule for Dublin, we are launching a special promo with seats from just €29.99 for travel between Apr and Oct ’23, which must be booked by midnight 16 Mar on www.Ryanair.com.
