The number of passengers, the airport’s distance from the city centre, the number of destinations it serves, the cost of parking, and departure delays were the five stress-inducing characteristics that the study used to evaluate ten well-known airports.
Ireland’s major airport, Dublin Airport, is only 15.57 km from the city centre. Passengers must pay €107 per week for parking. In 2023, the airport saw over 33.5 million passengers pass through its doors and offered flights to 184 destinations. However, its departure delay score was relatively low at 1.5 out of 5.
Most Stressful Airports in Europe
The most stressful airport in Europe, according to the study, is Charles-de-Gaulle in Paris, followed by Schiphol in the Netherlands. London Heathrow ranks as the third most stressful, with the highest parking charges at €143.34 for a week. Other airports in the top ten include Rome, Lisbon, Berlin, and Athens, with Zagreb in Croatia ranking as the least stressful.
Overall, while Dublin Airport faces challenges in terms of stress-inducing factors, it fares better than some other major airports in Europe, such as Heathrow and Charles-de-Gaulle.
