The airport was officially opened in 1940. New runways were completed in 1948 and, as the original terminal was unable to handle an increasing number of passengers, new terminals were opened in 1959 and 1972. In 2010, Terminal 2 was opened. The architect of the new terminal, awarded for design, was Desmond FitzGerald. It is a modern European airport, an excellence of Irish aviation.
Dublin Airport, from Terminal 1 and Terminal 2, offers connections to several short and medium-haul destinations, served by a range of airlines, as well as long-haul flights to North America and the Middle East. The airport is the main hub for the Irish flag carrier Aer Lingus and is a primary hub for the low-cost airline Ryanair.
The airport offers passengers all the necessary facilities as well as shops, bars, restaurants and lounges in the two terminals. It has four lounges: the lounges in Terminal 1 and Terminal 2, the 51st & Green Lounge and the East Lounge open to departing passengers.
