Speaking at Dublin Airport Dublin Airport (IATA: DUB, ICAO: EIDW), or Aerfort Bhaile Átha Cliath in Irish, is operated by the Dublin Airport Authority plc. Located in Collinstown, in the Fingal part of County Dublin, it is by far the busiest airport in Ireland and is ranked as 14th , Orlagh, 20, a student teacher from Swords, Co Dublin, said: "We figured we couldn't be that unlucky again, we have been in one plane crash already. "But it was scary. Your heart is in your mouth as soon as you touch down. We're delighted to be back,but you won't catch me on a flight for a while." The group had to climb through mangled wreckage to get out of the plane, which had skidded on a rain-soaked runway on August 4. They escaped with only cuts and bruises. The pilot of the Bangkok Airways' ATR ATR Achilles tendon reflex, see Ankle reflex 72 was killed in the accident. The girls have travelled on four flights to make the journey home, where they had a teary reunion with family and friends in a VIP suite at the airport. Aoife, 25, from Rush, Co Dublin, said it was a huge relief to be home. She added:"I've never been so glad to be back in Ireland. Dublin Airport was the most amazing sight ever. We're so relieved." But while Aoife plans to relax for next two weeks before she's back teaching in St Brendan's National School in Loughshinny, Co Dublin, Lesley will be catching up with her former pupils this week. Lesley, 23, who works in St Finian's Community College, Swords, said: "I'll be back in school when the Leaving Cert results come out." A fourth friend, Aine Deasy, 21, from Swords, had been travelling with them but left Thailand before the crash after suffering a serious head injury in a fall.
