Flights from Dublin
Airport
Domestic flights (excluding Northern Ireland)
Internal flights are available from the airlines listed below:
The Irish capital has a good range of internal links, especially on flights between Dublin and Cork, where there is competition between Aer Arran and Ryanair, and flights from Dublin to Shannon, where the Shannon Stopover requirement means that a lot of transatlantic flights are routed this way. Flights to many other destinations are often supported by Public Service Obligations (PSOs), as these routes would not be commercially viable without subsidy. The vast majority of internal flights within Eire are operated by the regional airline Aer Arran.

Flights from the UK
Flights are available from the airlines listed below:
There are currently flights to Dublin from no less than 30 airports in the United Kingdom (including Northern Ireland, the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands) - in fact there are far more British airports offering flights to Dublin than there are which offer flights to London, although this is hardly surprising considering that there are numerous airports in the south and east of England which don't have any need for flights to London, and all five of London's airports have flights to Dublin. The market for cheap flights to Dublin is dominated by Ryanair, but Aer Lingus, who have copied many of the tactics of the no-frills airlines in recent years, still offer plenty of competition from various cities in England and Scotland. Although it is generally true that Ryanair offer the cheapest flights to Dublin, Aer Lingus offer the advantage of using major airports such as London Heathrow and Glasgow International, compared to the more distant facilities preferred by Ryanair. Meanwhile, Flybe offer some useful links to Dublin from airports such as Exeter, Norwich and Southampton. Additionally, Aer Arran have replaced Ryanair on flights between Dublin and Cardiff, after the latter pulled out after failing to negotiate a better deal on handling charges. Aer Arran also operate daily flights between Dublin and Inverness.

European Routes
After a long-running battle to win a better deal with local airport authorities, Ryanair have embarked on a massive expansion programme of flights from Dublin to numerous new European destinations. The most recent new route announcement has included daily flights to Oslo Torp and Madrid. Aer Lingus still maintain a substantial network of flights from Dublin, including some routes to secondary airports in major European cities such as Berlin (Schonefeld). On the other hand, Ryanair compete with Aer Lingus on flights from Dublin to Málaga and Faro, two airports which the no-frills giants don't seem to be interested in serving from any of their UK bases, essentially because they are unable to get any significant cost advantages over their rivals at these airports. A great deal of Ryanair's recent expansion has been to the new EU accession states, with additional competition on flights to Poland being available courtesy of Centralwings, who offer flights from Dublin to Gdansk, Katowice and Wroclaw.
