Other carriers, including British Airways, Air France, KLM, SAS, United Airlines and Air Canada, were also affected by isolated delays.
The disruption was concentrated on routes between Ireland, the United Kingdom and continental Europe. Services linked to Manchester, Edinburgh, London Heathrow and Amsterdam Schiphol were repeatedly connected to delays involving Dublin.

Passengers were advised to closely monitor airline mobile apps and airport departure boards for real-time updates and to check whether their inbound aircraft had arrived before traveling to the airport. Building in additional time for connections was recommended due to the risk of knock-on delays. Travellers were also encouraged to keep boarding passes and notifications readily available for any gate changes or expedited boarding and to contact airline customer-service channels promptly for rebooking or assistance if needed.
In summary, Dublin International Airport saw a high volume of delays on 7 February, with limited cancellations. Ryanair, Emerald Airlines and Aer Lingus were among the most affected carriers, and disruptions were most prominent on UK–Ireland and Ireland–Europe routes.
