About Connemara Regional Airport
Connemara Regional Airport is a small regional airport located at Inverin in the Connemara region of County Galway, Ireland. Opened in 1992 to support the Aran Islands communities, it serves as the base for Aer Arann Islands, which operates short flights to Inis Mór, Inis Meáin and Inis Oírr.
The airport lies about 28 km west of Galway city and provides a convenient local gateway for the Aran Islands and the surrounding Connemara coastline. Its small terminal handles domestic passenger services, while the airport's 609-metre asphalt runway is used mainly for daytime operations in good visibility.
Road access via the R336 connects the airport to Galway, Spiddal and other parts of Connemara, with taxis, private transfers, chauffeur services and car rental available for onward travel. Facilities are compact, including a café/bar, waiting areas and on-site parking, reflecting the airport's role as a small regional airfield rather than a major hub.
