Dublin Airport has advised travellers to arrive three-and-a-half hours before their flight due to similar issues.

As Covid led to the government imposing lockdowns and travel restrictions, airport operations across the world shut down with fleets of planes grounded.

Similar scenes are felt on the other side of the globe… a blow-out in airport delays and wait times, particularly with Qantas in Australia’s biggest and most popular city of Sydney.

For Qantas, Jetstar and Virgin Australia, the Easter weekend will be the busiest since before the pandemic.
