There were tears of joy and laughter as thousands of people were reunited with their families as they touched down at Dublin Airport yesterday.
Dublin Airport Authority said a total of 45,000 touched down arrived in what was the busiest day in the lead up to Christmas. Spokesman Graeme McQueen added: “Over the past week, around 700,000 people have passed through Dublin Airport, with a further 800,000 set to travel between now and the early part of January.
“It’s been fantastic to see so many people returning home for Christmas, following two very disrupted years for travel due to Covid-19. Dublin Airport has been the scene of some fantastically emotional reunions over the past week or so, and that will continue on Christmas Eve when another 35,000 or so passengers will walk through the doors of Arrivals.
