Air Travel

When Aer Arann operated its first commercial flight in 1970, it’s ambition was to provide a reliable, value for money air service to 1,000 islanders, located in Inishmore, off the west coast of Ireland. And to do it with classic island charm. Today Aer Arann operates over 600 flights per week, across 40 routes in Ireland to the UK and Europe. Passenger numbers have grown from 12,000 in its first year to 1.1m in 2006. Aer Arann have engineering bases in Cork , Galway and the most recently opened Waterford base creating up to 45 jobs.
