Connemara Airport
Connemara Airport () or Connemara Regional Airport ("Aerfort Réigiúnach Chonamara") is located at Inverin in the Connemara region of Ireland, west of the city of Galway. It is also known as Spiddal Airport, Inverin Airport, 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, a division of Aer Arann, operates Britten-Norman Islander aircraft to the Aran Islands of Inisheer (), Inishmaan  () and Inishmore () off the coast of County Galway in Ireland. In June 2018, the airline announced that it intends to terminate its PSO contract and cease all flights on 6 December 2018, two years before the contract was due to expire. A deal has been agreed with Aer Arann and the government that the airport will be made available provision of an air service until 2021. This development is understood to be due to a dispute between the airline and the government relating to charges for flights that are not covered by the contract.
