Galway Airport (Irish: Aerfort na Gaillimhe), (IATA: GWY, ICAO: EICM), is an airport located at Carnmore, 4 NM (7.4 km; 4.6 mi) east of Galway City, County Galway, Ireland, managed by Corrib Airport Limited. Its last scheduled passenger traffic was on 31 October 2011, when Aer Arann ceased commercial operations at the airport. At 1289 m (4230 ft), the runway is too short to handle most jet airliners and so scheduled services were restricted to turboprop aircraft[2] or small executive jets. At peak, the airport served over 300,000 passengers annually, with 16 destinations.
The airport briefly re-opened in 2015, but since then remains closed to commercial traffic, being used only by the Galway Flying Club.[3]
In 2021, plans were announced to redevelop the site as a film studio, to launch in 2022 but as of 2023, these have not proceeded, and there have been discussions about future ownership options.[4][5] The airport has been used as a site for concerts.[6]
