Connemara Airport

Connemara Airport (Irish: Aerphort Chonamara)[1] or Connemara Regional Airport[2] (Aerfort Réigiúnach Chonamara[3]) (IATA: NNR, ICAO: EICA) is located at Inverin in the Connemara region of Ireland, 15 nautical miles (28 km; 17 mi) west[1] of the city of Galway. It is also known as Spiddal Airport,[4][5][6] Inverin Airport,[7][8][9] or Minna Airport (Aerfort na Minne), a name also used by Minna Airport in Minna, Nigeria.

The airport was constructed in 1992, partly funded by Údarás na Gaeltachta (the development agency for the Gaeltacht) to help ensure the viability of the Aran Islands communities.

Aer Arann Islands operates Britten-Norman Islander aircraft to the Aran Islands of Inisheer (Irish: Inis Oírr), Inishmaan (Irish: Inis Meáin) and Inishmore (Irish: Inis Mór) off the coast of County Galway in Ireland.
