Good article, some interesting figures in it. SFO having almost as many passengers coming locally from Dublin, rather than connecting PAX, as MCO is really a testament to how many tech firms are based in Dublin.

It says 42% are direct, 43% are EI US destination to EI Europe destination via Dublin, 9% connect in the Us side via jet blue or United for example and 7% are “bridge”.

What does bridge refer to - is it some kind of 3 leg journey?

If a city pair was DUB-JFK then a bridge would be the legs originating before or after. Google OAG user guide.

Thanks - makes sense. Quite a high number, bigger than I would have imagined.
