The list of countries that have flights into Dublin Airport including multiple coronavirus hotspots

Flights from the US, England and some of Europe's worst affected coronavirus hotspots will arrive into Ireland on Saturday.

Dublin Airport will welcome dozens of more flights on Saturday from all around the world - although most won't be full.

Ireland's health experts are warning that international travel is one of, if not the, biggest risk to a resurgence in coronavirus here.

On Thursday the NPHET announced that 15 cases were directly or indirectly with travel.

Dr Ronan Glynn said: "15 of today's confirmed cases are directly or indirectly related to travel. NPHET today reiterates that all non-essential travel overseas should be avoided."

Many people on these flights will be transporting people for essential reasons - but some will have holidaymakers.

Multiple US flights

Aer Lingus flights from New York JFK, Chicago and Boston will all arrive into Ireland in the early hours of Sunday.

An American Airlines flight from Dallas will also arrive into Dublin before 8am.

Coronavirus cases continue to surge in America with Texas, where you'll find Dallas, after seeing a "swift and dangerous turn" in numbers in recent days.

So far in the US there has been 3.1 million confirmed cases with the epidemic far from under control.

Flights from London

Multiple flights to and from London will come in and out Saturday - many bringing Irish people home to their families.

London has been one of the worst hit parts of the UK but is now getting things somewhat under control.

Flights from Turkey

A Turkish Airlines flight will arrive from Istanbul on Saturday morning.

Over 1,000 new cases were confirmed in the country yesterday with over 200,000 since the pandemic began.

Flights from Spain

A number of flights from Spain will arrive in including one from party island Ibiza.

Others will come from Barcelona, with Catalonia recently having to shut down two regions due to a spike in cases.

With over 250,000 cases in total the country has been one of the worst affected in Europe.

Flight from Sweden

A Ryanair flight from Goteborg, Sweden will arrive into Dublin on Saturday afternoon.

The country has been described as the "world's cautionary tale" after imposing no lockdown and seeing over 5,000 deaths.
