Dublin Airport is an international airport serving Dublin, Ireland and is operated by the Dublin Airport Authority. It is located 5.4 nmi (10.0 km; 6.2 mi) north of Dublin city in a once-rural area near Swords, in the county of Fingal, Ireland. In 2012, over 19 million passengers passed through the airport, making it the busiest of the state's airports by total passenger traffic, followed by Cork Airport and Shannon Airport. It also has the greatest traffic levels on the island of Ireland followed by Belfast International Airport, Cork, George Best Belfast City Airport and Shannon Airport. The airport has an extensive short and medium haul network, served by an array of carriers. In recent years, long haul connections to Dubai and Abu Dhabi have been launched and have proved very popular. Domestic services are offered to some regional Irish airports. There are approximately 50 daily departures from Dublin to all six London airports. Dublin is also one of only seven airports in the world to serve all six London Airports: Stansted, Luton, Gatwick, Heathrow, London City and Southend. Aer Lingus serves many popular US destinations, and has been able to add more thanks to the open skies deal. US legacy carriers also serve the airport from major US hubs. Etihad Airways operates a 10 times weekly service between the airport and Abu Dhabi and on 9 January 2012 Emirates began a daily direct service to Dubai. United States border preclearance services are available at the airport for US-bound passengers, making Dublin one of only two European airports with this facility (along with Shannon).
