October Traffic
More than 1.7 million passengers travelled through Dublin Airport in October
More than 1.7 million passengers travelled through Dublin Airport in October, a 1% increase on the same period last year and the first monthly increase in passenger numbers in more than two years.
Passenger volumes to and from continental Europe increased by 4% with almost 880,000 passengers travelling on these routes last month. UK traffic declined by 1% with just over 638,000 passengers travelling between Dublin and British airports during October.
Transatlantic traffic increased by almost 4% with almost 134,000 travelling to and from North America during the period. Passenger numbers on domestic routes fell by 37% in October with just over 32,000 people taking domestic flights last month.
Other international passenger traffic, which is principally flights to the Middle East, increased by almost 26% to almost 27,000 in October.
Just over 16 million passengers used Dublin in the 10 months to the end of October, a 10% decline on the previous year. However, stripping out the impact of ash cloud disruption, and other one-off factors, the underlying decline in passenger numbers for the first 10 months of the year was 7%.

Unfortunately I doubt it, for some time; the economy seems to be going south in a big way this evening; there is a strong likelihood that the IMF may have to step in within the next few weeks (or even days) and the likely effects of the cuts already proposed is that domestic demand will be very hard hit.

True, about the only reason Estonian survived on the route for so long is because Tallinn is about the only City in the 10 accession States that Ryanair didn't serve. I wonder did the authorities finally budge on fees?!

US Customer
Does anyone know if one were to travel CWL-DUB-JFK if the facilities allow US Border & Customs clearance before boarding the JFK bound flight, therefore easing transit at JFK? If so, what is the procedure...?

I dont no the current situation but from December 7th 2010 (T2 opens) that all connecting passengers will follow the existing signs for ''Transfers'' you will arrive at a security screening area which you must clear before following the signs for ''T2 Transfers'' then you will pass threw the partially existing Pier D and arriving in T2 where you will be met by two signs <- ''Check-In'', -> ''Transfers''. Follow the signs for Transfers and you will arrive at Security with the following signange, <- ''All flights within Continental Europe'', -> ''US Border Customs & Pre-clearance'' Follow the signs for US customs and you will then be screened as detailed on the daa.ie site. After that you just proceed to your gate and arrive hassile free as a domestic passenger in the US.
ARRIVING IN T2 AND PROCEEDING TO FLIGHT FROM T2:
Proceed threw baggage re-claim, and follow signs for ''Transfers''. You will arrive in the security area and will be met by two signs, <- ''All flights within Continental Europe'', -> ''US Border Customs & Pre-clearance''. Follow the signs for US customs and you will then be screened as mentioned above thus arriving as a domestic passenger in the US.

KAVS you are more or less correct in everything except:
It's the partially existing Pier C not D.
Unfortunately full CBP facilities will not be up and running until the new year. They want to bring it in step by step to deal with any teething problems that may arise with any new facility. They will start with what they have already which is Immigration but not Customs so flights will not be arriving as domestic flights until sometime in early 2011.

yes you can clear immigration and eventually customs even if you are transiting in DUB from another city. However, the flight from Cardiff connects with EI109 to JFK and there are no CBP immigration facilities provided for EI109 at the moment.
then you will pass threw the partially existing Pier D and arriving in T2

It baffles me why they are showing this ad on prime time Irish TV. If people have to fly from Dublin, and use terminal 2 a TV advert is not going to increase or change those volumes. Irish people know T2 is there..
I can understand the ad being used elsewhere but on Irish TV it seems a ridiculous waste of money

The same branding excercise took place when the Cork terminal opened in 2006. The money would be better spent on marketing support for new routes. Maybe it's a PR excercise to counter the Taj mahal adverts paid for by Ryanair which portray T2 as a massive waste of money.

I have to laugh.
The DAA is now saying that the US Customs Authorities are not going to move to Terminal Two until next year. Presumably this means that all the US Airlines will hold off on their terminal move until then. Apparently Aer Lingus isn't going to transfer all its operations over until January either.
I guess that means that when T2 opens next week the only airline using it for the first while will be Etihad?

Aer Lingus will move in next week, London routes are said to be first followed by the rest of the short haul network. The first flight out of the terminal is Etihad on Tuesday and will be followed by Aer Lingus shortly after.

Aer Lingus plans trial at new terminal - The Irish Times - Thu, Nov 18, 2010
Aer Lingus will begin operating some trial flights from Terminal 2 tomorrow, but it stressed that passengers must still check in at the existing Terminal 1 building. Passengers on flights which arrive into Terminal 2 will also be escorted to the Terminal l building for exit. People collecting passengers have also been asked to collect them as normal from the existing building.
