More than half a million passengers are expected to travel through Dublin Airport over the upcoming bank holiday weekend.
Friday and Sunday are likely to be the busiest days, with the airport operator expecting up to 130,000 passengers per day.
The daa is advising passengers departing this weekend to be at the airport two hours before a short-haul flight and three hours before a long-haul flight.
“The August bank holiday is always one of the busiest weekends for us and this year will be no different,” said Graeme McQueen, Dublin Airport spokesperson.
“There’s lots going on in Ireland this weekend to entice people here, including the Rush Air Show, which Dublin Airport is proud to be partnered with, as well as the all-Ireland women’s football final in Croke Park.
“The departure gates are set to be busy too and it’s not just sun-seekers heading off to the usual hotspots like Portugal and Spain, but this weekend will once again see Oasis t-shirts galore heading to the UK for the biggest concerts of the summer, while the start of the new UK football season will bring plenty of colour to the terminals over the coming weekends,” he added.
