Today 2008 record was exceeded with over 23.5 million using the airport so far, previous record of 23.46. Basing on last Decemeber figure of 1.6 it more less confirms over 25 million this year.
Due to this high increase (+15% growth) DUB will surpass OSL, PMI, VIE, ARN, MAN, BRU and DUS. DUB should be 18th busiest airport in Europe (including IST, SVO, DME, SAW and AYT to Europe) behind CPH (around 26 mln), ZRH (26.25) and AYT (27.5 but decreasing due to less Russian tourists in the future). I can see DUB to be 15th busiest airport in Europe by 2016/2017.
