“I regularly use Ireland West Airport for my work with Dervish and Sligo Live mainly
for regular meetings in London. One could say the airport allows the West of Ireland
to be a suburb of London now. It would be so much more difficult to bring major

“Ireland West Airport is one of my favourite airports, it’s just so convenient. Once
you land and park your car, you’re only a few minutes’ walk away from your gate to
board your plane. I’ve never experienced any big queues, friendly staff throughout
the airport with great food and shopping all right beside your gates so you’re never
in a panic or rush about missing a flight. It honestly feels like your own private family
airport, it’s always a pleasure to fly out of Ireland West Airport.”
