Dublin Airport is a near sea-level field at 242 ft (74 m), positioned at 53.4287° N, 6.2621° W in the Northern high mid-latitudes. The runway snapshot lists 3 runways and a longest runway of 10,203 ft / 3,110 m. The airport clock uses Europe/Dublin (BST, UTC+01:00), so cross-date arrivals should be checked against this zone rather than the airline origin city.
Swords is the closest retained city-time anchor at 4.5 km. BFS Belfast is the closest retained airport alternative at 137 km.
DUB is compared with NOC Charlestown at 177 km, SNN Shannon at 195 km, ORK Cork at 232 km inside the retained Ireland airport set, which is useful when backup airports share the same country context but differ by city, route network, and clock behavior.

OurAirports classifies DUB as a large airport with scheduled service, which gives it stronger planning value than a code-only lookup.
DUB (EIDW) is one of the curated airport pages with a real traffic signal attached: 36.4 million passengers, operating from a near sea-level field at 242 ft (74 m).
DUB sits in a broader regional network with 5 nearby curated alternatives, so airline choice and connection strategy are part of the planning story here.
DUB's runway record lists 3 runways, with the longest runway at 10,203 ft / 3,110 m and source surfaces recorded as ASPH, asphalt, concrete.
DAA is the clearest operator or management signal we currently have on file for DUB.
These operational notes prefer the structured airport facts snapshot, then fall back to the accepted airport reference at dublinairport.com, then blend that with local timezone, route, and city-access data already on this page.
These are the specific situations where this airport page earns its keep: time-zone conversion, city transfer planning, nearby airport backup logic, and source-confidence checks before acting.
DUB uses Europe/Dublin (BST, UTC+01:00). Use this before overnight arrivals, cross-date departures, and same-day connections.
Dublin Airport is about 11 km from central Dublin; build that transfer into arrival and check-in planning.
BFS Belfast is the closest retained alternate at 137 km, time difference +0h.
dublinairport.com is listed as the official airport website in the airport facts snapshot; live schedules, gates, routes, terminals, and NOTAM-sensitive operations still need official airport or airline verification.
These comparisons place DUB inside the retained airport graph by country, timezone, elevation, and coordinate neighbors. They are deterministic dataset facts, not generated flight claims.
DUB ranks #1 in the curated Ireland airport set when large airports are listed before medium airports, then sorted by IATA code. The retained country set has 4 airports.
DUB shares Europe/Dublin with NOC Charlestown IE · ORK Cork IE · SNN Shannon IE. This helps separate same-clock airports by city, country, code, and geography.
DUB is 242 ft (74 m). Closest elevation peers in the retained airport set include LAD 243 ft (74 m) (1 ft delta) · YNY 241 ft (73 m) (1 ft delta) · VLC 240 ft (73 m) (2 ft delta) · YQB 244 ft (74 m) (2 ft delta) · LAE 239 ft (73 m) (3 ft delta).

Central Dublin is close enough that taxi, ride-hail, and rail or shuttle links are usually the fastest arrival options.
Dublin is the nearest mapped city anchor in the current dataset, which makes it the cleanest companion page when travelers want to switch from airport timing into local city timing.
Dublin Airport has 5 nearby indexed airport alternatives, which makes backup departures and diversion logic part of real planning instead of a theoretical edge case.
Airport pages are most useful when they bridge into real city clocks. These city anchors are ranked by distance from DUB, then shown with their own timezone, local time, and time difference from the airport clock.
