Flights from Galway
Airport
Galway flights summary: The range of cheap flights to and from Galway has expanded dramatically in the second wave of low-cost airline expansion. This gateway to western Ireland does not have the facilities to attract the larger aircraft used by budget airlines like Ryanair and Easyjet, but Galway has seen a number of new routes developed by Irish regional airline Aer Arran, with Flybe having recently announced cheap flights to Galway from Belfast and Birmingham.

European Routes
Aer Arran currently operate flights from Galway to Lorient in France. Attempts by EuroManx to operate flights to Paris and Málaga did not prove to be commercially successful. Galway airport's runway can only handle jets up to the size of the BAe146/RJ100, making opportunities for scheduled and charter flights from Galway relatively limited, although there will be flights to Amsterdam, Copenhagen and Hamburg for the winter 2006/7 season. Numerous other onward connection opportunities are available with Aer Arran via Dublin or some of the airports they serve in the UK.
