Over one million people are expected to use Dublin Airport this Christmas, making it the busiest Christmas in the airport's 77-year history.
Between Friday 22 December and Friday 5 January an expected 1,021,250 people will travel through Dublin Airport.
The numbers arriving at and departing from the airport are up 2% compared with the same time last year.
Friday 22 December is expected to be the busiest day before Christmas, with almost 85,000 passengers due to arrive and depart through both terminal one and two.
Friday 29 December is also expected to be the busiest day after Christmas, particularly with passengers heading to winter sun and skiing destinations.
Dublin Airport will close on Christmas Day - the only day on which it closes every year. A number of staff members will remain on duty, however, including the airport's emergency fire services.
Flight operations will stop on Christmas Eve after the last flight departs at 11.10pm to Chisinau - the capital of Moldova - with Air Moldova.
They will resume on St Stephen's Day when an Aer Lingus flight from New York is due to land at 5am.
