Dublin Airport had a record number of passengers in 2019 - marking its ninth year of growth in a row.
There were 32.9 million passengers using the transport hub last year, with 30.7 million of those starting and ending their journey in the capital.
This year Dublin Airport is celebrating its 80th birthday, with more than 580 million visitors entering its terminal since it opened on 19 January 1940.
Passenger numbers were up 4% overall in the year, and Dublin Airport is now the fifth largest airport in Europe for transatlantic connectivity.
Managing Director Vincent Harrison said: “Dublin Airport had its ninth consecutive year of passenger growth in 2019 and this has had a hugely positive impact on the entire Irish economy.
“The connectivity provided by Dublin Airport is essential, as the Irish economy is one of the most open in the world.
“Our economy depends on trade, exports, inbound tourism and foreign direct investment and Dublin Airport is delighted to be able to facilitate these key sectors.”
There were 25 new routes at Dublin Airport last year – including new long-haul services to Calgary, Dallas-Fort-Worth and Minneapolis-St Paul and new short-haul services to Bodrum, Kyiv, Lourdes and Thessaloniki.
There were capacity increases on 28 existing routes, as airlines added flights to their schedules or operated services with larger aircraft.
This year, Dublin Airport will welcome 12 new routes. New long-haul services for summer 2020 include Shanghai via Helsinki with Juneyao Air and San Francisco with United Airlines.
New short-haul destinations include Cairo with EgyptAir, Marseille with Ryanair, Rhodes with Aer Lingus, and Tel Aviv with El Al.
