The passenger number is likely to surpass 35 million across 240,000 flights and nine million suitcases, weighing over 127,000 tonnes.

Head of Media Relations at daa, Graeme McQueen, called 2025 a record year, with passenger satisfaction ratings at the airport reaching an all-time high.

"The consistent uptick in passenger happiness levels over the past three years follows the continuous rollout of improvements in the terminals, all based on feedback from passengers," Mr McQueen commented.

He continued to say that this year saw the introduction of new lounges, parking extensions, and the rollout of many new food and drink outlets in both terminals.

Mr McQueen added: "This year also saw us complete the multi-million euro rollout of new cutting edge C3 scanners in both terminals, which enabled us to remove the old 100ml liquid limit once and for all."

Further improvements continue to be made in both terminals including a revamp of the duty free area and a new lounge in Terminal 1, as well as revamped 51st and Green lounge in Terminal 2.
