DUBLIN Airport Authority (DAA) will pay out a €1.5m rebate to 25 airlines that increased their passenger numbers at Dublin airport last year.
Airport traffic numbers last year were up 2pc to 19.1m, the second consecutive year of traffic growth.
An additional 360,000 passengers used the airport last year.
The DAA said that this growth was supported by a major expansion in long-haul traffic, which was up 16pc, while short-haul traffic increased by 1pc.
Airlines that increased their business at Dublin Airport last year include: Aer Lingus, Aer Lingus Regional, Air Canada, American Airlines, Etihad, Lufthansa, SAS and Turkish Airlines.
The DAA said British Airways and Emirates also launched significant new services from Dublin.
Over the past two years, DAA said it has returned €3m in airport charges rebates to its airline customers at Dublin, under it Growth Incentive Scheme.
Under the scheme, a rebate is paid to an airline based on its overall level of growth at Dublin during 2012.
The company has also offered additional incentive schemes to attract new routes and boost transfer traffic.
Three airports come under the DAA's remit -- Dublin, Cork and Shannon.
They recorded growth of 1pc last year to 22.8m passengers, which was also the second year of overall growth.

Fionnuala Britton at Dublin Airport
Minister of State for Sport Michael Ring happened to be in Dublin Airport last night when Fionnuala Britton and the Irish Women’s Cross Country team stepped through the automatic doors in the arrivals hall.
Five gold medals hung around four necks [Britton had two] and Minister Ring was positively chuffed about the whole thing.
The Mayo TD allowed Ciaran O’Cathain of Athletics Ireland to present the team with bouquets of flowers before squeezing in for some pictures.
Going back through the photo archives [selection included below], it seems Minister Ring has had a busy six months of photo opportunities with Irish sports stars and at top sporting events.

O'Leary criticises State involvement in aviation
Ryanair chief executive Michael O’Leary has criticised the structure
of Irish aviation and the high level of involvement by the State.
At a policy conference in Dublin yesterday he said the Government was “incapable of producing services efficiently”. He reiterated his view that the Dublin Airport Authority should be broken up and privatised, and that the Commission for Aviation Regulation should be closed.
“Call [estate agent] Sherry Fitzgerald today and put them [Dublin, Cork and Shannon airports] up for sale,” Mr O’Leary told the conference on aviation policy for Ireland at the Convention Centre Dublin.
“We need to do something different, we have got to get the Government out of producing airport infrastructure,” he added.
Mr O’Leary restated Ryanair’s desire to acquire Aer Lingus and called on the Government to sell him its 25 per cent stake in the airline. He said Aer Lingus was “too small” to be able to compete with Ryanair over the long term and predicted it would struggle to survive as an independent entity.
Aer Lingus rejects criticism
“Aer Lingus does have a future except as part of one of the big five airline groups in Europe. We’d like to buy it but it certainly won’t survive as an independent airline in five years’ time.”
This view was rejected by Aer Lingus chief executive Christoph Mueller, who said that, unlike Ryanair, Aer Lingus was growing its traffic from Ireland and was now once again the biggest carrier here.
Mr Mueller said there were growth opportunities available from Ireland and noted it would add capacity to its long-haul services to the US next year.
He said Dublin Airport would not need a new runway for at least 10 years, possibly 20, due to demand constraints and existing surplus capacity.
The conference marked the beginning of a consultation period to develop a new civil aviation policy for Ireland. Minister for Transport Leo Varadkar said he was determined that whatever policy was drafted would not simply “gather dust on a shelf”.
Noting the sector is worth €4.1 billion to the economy annually, he said aviation policy had been “made on an ad hoc basis” in the past and he wanted to move to a different model.

Ryanair threatens higher fares as Dublin Airport raises charges
Friday November 16 2012
Holidaymakers using Dublin Airport could be hit for higher
fares next summer after management unveiled a planned hike in charges
for airlines.
Ryanair lashed out at plans by the Dublin Airport Authority (DAA) to raise its core airport charges by 0.5pc from next summer – just as the Government's tourism plan 'The Gathering' gets into full swing.
A DAA spokesman said the increase applies to services the authority provides to airlines such as aircraft parking facilities and to passenger charges.
The DAA is also raising the cost it charges airlines for the provision of services for passengers in wheelchairs.
The DAA says it outsources this service and makes no money from it, but says it's mandated under EU law to recoup the full cost of the service from airlines.
The DAA spokesman said the authority had lost about €2m in the past number of years as not enough was being charged for the service.
It also intends to charge airlines that don't use so-called airbridges that funnel passengers from the terminal directly onto the aircraft a higher fee.
Steep
The DAA spokesman said all the changes mean that from next summer it will be charging airlines the maximum €10.67 fee per departing passenger that it's currently permitted to levy by the Commission for Aviation Regulation.
He also said that the DAA hasn't raised its core charges in two years and that the "modest" increase compared favourably to steep price rises being implemented by other transport sectors including bus and rail.
"This modest adjustment will be Dublin Airport's first overall price increase in two years," said DAA strategy director Vincent Harrison.
A Ryanair spokesman said the latest planned price increases "beggar belief" and that the higher costs would be passed on by airlines to passengers.
"It puts a final nail in the coffin for whatever hopes there might have been for the Gathering next year," he said.
However, Ryanair has previously made it clear that it doesn't intend laying on any extra flights to Ireland next year for the Gathering.
A spokesman for Aer Lingus declined to comment.
However, Aer Lingus boss Christoph Mueller has previously described charges at Dublin Airport as "insane".

Aer Lingus may bring in extra planes to avoid strike chaos
AER Lingus is planning to make timetable changes and merge flights in an effort to prevent disruption to passengers during a two-hour work stoppage at the country's busiest airport.
Company sources said it had activated its disruptions plan, adding it might consider hiring planes if necessary.
Up to 2,000 airline passengers face the prospect of being stranded next Monday after trade union SIPTU said it intended to mount industrial action at Dublin Airport in an ongoing row over the company's pension crisis.
The strike is planned between 10am and 12pm and would mostly affect transatlantic passengers.
The long-running row centres on a €750m hole in the Irish Airlines Superannuation Scheme, which covers workers in the airline and the Dublin Airport Authority.
The company pledged to make a contribution to plug the gap in return for increased productivity from workers, but SIPTU said the company had a €900m cash pile and workers had already given enough.
Last week employers' group IBEC and the Irish Congress of Trade Unions (ICTU) issued a five-point plan to resolve the row.
In a statement, Aer Lingus said there was a need for "cost-stabilisation" measures, and that it regretted SIPTU's stance: "Aer Lingus finds it most regrettable that SIPTU has taken this decision to use Aer Lingus customers as leverage in a dispute, for which a way forward is clearly available."
Unions
Sources said SIPTU workers were mostly employed in ground-handling including baggage and check-in, and that pilots and cabin crew were not affected.
Other unions including IMPACT, Unite, TEEU and the craft group of unions have not served strike notice.
Aer Lingus carries up to 25,000 customers a day, and sources said 2,000 would be affected. The strike notice would also affect bookings.
"You're looking at about 2,000 people being affected," one said. The 10am to 12pm period is a wave of transatlantic departures, and long-haul. It appears this is aimed at North America. The real risk in these situations is people just avoid booking. Once there's a cloud raised over a period, people just avoid booking on those days." "
SIPTU organiser Dermot O'Loughlin said SIPTU is seeking clarification from ICTU and IBEC on aspects of their mediation proposal and would not be withdrawing the strike notice until such time as it gets "acceptable clarifications".
"Our members are seeking the removal of pre-conditions introduced by Aer Lingus and which we believe to be unrelated to the pension crisis.
"Separately the union needs to establish if the Dublin Airport Authority is committed to the ICTU/IBEC proposals including the intention to refer certain issues to the Labour Court, where necessary," he added.
Brian Gormley, regional officer for Unite, said a collective decision will have to be taken by the unions before the industrial action can be called off.
He said the decision does not necessarily have to be unanimous so long as it is collective, and his union will take part in the stoppage unless the group of unions calls it off.
Impact, the largest union at Aer Lingus, has already said it is ready to attend discussions as laid out by IBEC and ICTU.

New Dublin to NY daily flights
This will add competition on a route that is already served by Aer Lingus twice daily and by US carrier Delta, which flies the route daily. US airline United also operates a daily flight from Dublin to Newark, which serves New York.
Figures from the Dublin Airport Authority show about 650,000 passengers flew between Dublin and New York last year.
The service will complement American’s daily service from Dublin to Chicago. From June next, Dublin will have 12 daily scheduled flights to nine US airports.

Eircom, Dublin Airport Authority offer free Wi-Fi, Unlimited Access
Free, Unlimited Wi-Fi access is currently being offered at Dublin
Airport following the agreement between Eircom and Dublin Airport
Authority. The free Wireless Internet service is now available to all
users within the airport’s vicinity without registration.
It has been almost a year now since the Eircom WiFiHub service is offered at Dublin Airport and so far, it has aided more than one million passengers already. The service was launched in December last year. Since then, all passengers passing through the airport can make use of a Wireless Internet connection for free, yet limited only.
Originally, the WiFi Internet service at Dublin Airport was given free for 10 minutes only. Users who wanted to avail of the service the whole day have to pay a €1 fee. So far, the service is still given free at Dublin Airport but already unlimited.
Passengers who want to access the free WiFi are required to log on to the Dublin Airport Free WiFi network, otherwise known as the Eircom WiFiHub. The ‘Continue to Surf’ button then shows up on the homepage after logging into the network. Users need to click on that button to start browsing the web.
In addition, a free downloadable Eircom WiFiHub app is likewise, offered to all interested smartphone users, particularly Android and iOS. The app is available at Android and Apple stores online.
Dublin Airport is among the few airports in the capital city of Europe to offer a free WiFi service to its customers, according to DAA commercial director.
“Dublin Airport is one of the few capital city airports in Europe to offer its customers free Wi-Fi and this move puts us well ahead of the vast majority of our peers,” DAA commercial director Maurice Hennessy has declared.
A significant increase in the number of WiFi sessions within the airport vicinity was noticed later in July. In fact, the Dublin Airport has recorded more than 600,000 WiFi sessions at that time. Finding the Internet service becoming more important to travelers nowadays, Eircom and DAA recently come up with a deal to grant passengers at Dublin Airport with a free unlimited WiFi access.
“Wi-Fi is becoming increasingly important in our day-to-day lives and there is real demand for fast, reliable, hassle-free Wi-Fi access,” Eircom director of products and strategy Elaine Robinson said.
More than 1,000 Eircom WiFiHub hotspots are now available across the country and Eircom still continues to capitalize in the roll out of the service. In the meantime, the company is targeting Ireland’s largest WiFi spot.
Considering the fact that Dublin Airport is the largest WiFi location in Ireland, Eircom sees it a good place to start with. So far this year, Dublin Airport has supplied 22,290 wireless internet sessions on its busiest day. It is one clear indication of a need to grant a free unlimited WiFi internet access to its passengers.

Dublin airport has slashed security wait
LONG queue times at security checkpoints at Dublin Airport belong to the past, a new report claims.
Security search queue times and baggage belt availability targets were met in April to June.
The Dublin Airport Authority has to ensure that passengers spend less than 30 minutes in the queue for passenger security search to meet quality targets, the Commission for Aviation Regulation (CAR) said.
"If there are any delays when the measure of the security queue time exceeds 30 minutes at some stage in the day, a financial penalty applies such that the price cap for that year is adjusted downwards," the CAR added.
Measuring the time spent by passengers in the security queue starts from the point at which a passenger joins the end of the queue, which may or not be within the queue area.
The time spent by the passenger in the queue is measured until the passenger hands over their boarding card at the entrance to the security screening area, the CAR said.
The DAA met the security queue target in April to June , with no queues reported that exceeded the 30 minute target, the CAR said.
Luggage
Statistics show that the huge majority of passengers monitored spent less than five minutes queuing to get to the screening area.
The figures show:
3,543 in April; 3,247 in May and 3,196 in June queued for less than five minutes,
In April, 234 people queued for between five to 10 minutes, 454 in May and 481 in June,
29 queued in April for between 10 to 20 minutes; 170 in May and 135 in June.
Five people in May and six in June queued for 20 to 20 minutes.
The CAR also reported that the DAA met the quality target on the outbound luggage belt up to the end of June.
The target is to ensure that airlines or their ground handlers are not denied access to the outbound element of the baggage handling system for more than 30 consecutive minutes due to "a single event system failure."
The quality target for the inbound baggage system is to ensure that it is available for 99pc of operational hours, 7am to midnight.
The DAA met the target for the second quarter of 2012, it said.

Homecomings: Public receptions for medal winners
It will be followed by a press conference. Members of the public will be unable to cheer the athletes through arrivals as they will leave by a separate exit.
The athletes will then go their separate ways, though public receptions will be held for gold medallist Katie Taylor in Bray, Co Wicklow, and silver medallist John Joe Nevin in Mullingar, Co Westmeath, later.
A public celebration for fellow boxing medallists Paddy Barnes and Michael Conlan will be held in Belfast tomorrow.

MULLINGAR
Thousands are expected to attend a welcoming ceremony for Westmeath’s two Olympians in Mullingar this evening.
An open-top bus will carry Olympic silver medal-winning boxer John Joe Nevin and Olympic showjumper Joseph Murphy through the streets of Mullingar from 6.30pm.
The parade will be led from Patrick Street to Cusack Park, arriving at 7.30pm for a formal ceremony.
Large screens will display footage of both Olympians’ performances at Cusack Park where entertainment will be laid on for the public from 6.30pm.
BELFAST
Olympic boxing heroes Paddy Barnes and Michael Conlan return to Belfast today, where they will be welcomed at a special reception at the Titanic Belfast visitors centre, starting at 5.30pm.
Members of the public will get a chance to show their appreciation for the Olympic bronze medal-winners on Tuesday afternoon, when an open-top bus will take the two boxers and their immediate families on a tour around Belfast city centre. The tour is expected to begin at 1pm at Writer’s Square, proceeding down Royal Avenue and finishing with a triumphant circuit of City Hall.
On Wednesday afternoon, a homecoming celebration is planned in Coleraine, for the Co Derry town’s three rowers for Great Britain, Peter Chambers, Richard Chambers and Alan Campbell. The Chambers brothers won silver in the lightweight men’s four final, while Campbell won a bronze medal in the men’s single sculls. All three men are members of the town’s Bann Rowing Club.

Massive holiday rush hits airport
HOLIDAY-makers have been warned that almost 300,000
passengers are expected to pass through Dublin Airport this bank holiday

"Passengers should plan to arrive in the terminal building at least 90 minutes before their flight departure time, irrespective of whether they are checking in on the web or at the airport," the authority said.
