Dublin Airport has seen a drop in the number of passengers using its terminals for the first time in five years.
The last time footfall at the international hub dipped was March 2014.
More than 2.2 million passengers were welcomed at Dublin Airport last month, a 1% decrease when compared to November 2018.
According to the Dublin Airport Authority, it’s due to airlines withdrawing services or reducing capacity on their existing route network to and from Dublin during the winter.
Passenger numbers declined on all route sectors in November except Europe, which recorded a 2% increase as almost 1.1 million travelled to and from European destinations during the month.
Almost 833,000 passengers travelled to and from UK destinations in November, which was a 2% decrease when compared to 2018.
Transatlantic traffic declined by 4% with almost 263,000 passengers travelling on this route sector last month.
Traffic to and from other international destinations, which includes flights to the Middle East and Africa decreased by 11%, with almost 65,000 passengers travelled on these routes during November.
Passenger numbers on domestic routes declined by 25% with almost 7,300 travelling on domestic flights last month.
