And during the chaos, a surprise visitor landed on the west apron at the airport on Tuesday, who "clearly wasn't booked on any flight".
Taking to social media, Dublin Airport chiefs said: "A surprise visitor landed on the west apron tonight - a very chatty parrot who clearly wasn't booked on any flight!
"Thankfully, Dave from our AOSO team made a new feathered friend and brought him to the Dublin Airport Fire Station, where he'll hang out until we can reunite him with his owner.
"No holiday to the Canaries for this guy - not just yet anyway!"
One of the snaps shows the colourful parrot trying to steal Dave's ring while he laughed at his attempts.
After his mischief around the airport site, another snap shows the tired parrot being comfortable and resting on Dave's hand.
It is currently unknown if the parrot has reunited with his owner.
Dublin Airport's fans were left gushing over the photos and rushed to the comments to share their thoughts about the surprise visitor.
One person commented: "Awhhh that's so cute!"
Another person wrote: "Aw, what a cutie! Thanks for looking after him."
