Transport

One of the most important relationships is between Dublin Airport and a number of large airlines such as Emirates, American Airlines and Delta Airlines which fly tourists into Dublin, mainly from the United States. The airport has opened a second terminal in recent years. This makes it easier for airlines to operate. It is also planning a further runway to allow more flights to land. This will help tourism.

Dublin Airport works in partnership with a number of bus and coach operators which offer a range of routes from the airport to different areas of the city. This gives tourists arriving in the city lots of choice.

Getting around Dublin is very easy for tourists. Dublin Bus operates over 900 buses and has a good network of routes for tourists. Also, there is the DART – a coastal train line and a light rail system called LUAS. Although these are operated by different companies, the organisations work together to offer a LEAP CARD which can be used on all public transport. Tourists can buy a Leap Visitor Card at the airport, which helps tourists a great deal. All these organisations now provide up-to-date information via an app which is a recent development.
