"This year has seen the introduction of new lounges, the extension of our Drop & Go parking product to Terminal 1 and the rollout of many new food and drink outlets in both terminals," he said."
"'Tailgating' through car park exits was also rampant, with 351 penalties issued. 197 vehicles were towed due to illegal parking activity, the DAA said. The authority's newly-released 2025 figures also named the airport's five most commonly discarded 'lost property' items. Top of the list was luggage, followed by sunglasses, mobile phones, sets of keys and laptops. Otherwise, Dublin Airport said that it is on track to have welcomed more than 35 million passengers across roughly 240,000 flights in 2025."
