Landing at Donegal Airport offers breathtaking views of the Donegal coastline... One of Europe's most beautiful airstrips... An unforgettable experience for anyone who takes a flight.

Considered to be the airport with the most beautiful runway in the world (according to the “Privatefly” website), Donegal airport is located in the north-west of Ireland. Located around 45 minutes from Letterkenny, it’s the ideal base for exploring the wonders of the Donegal region, with its coastline and wilderness. The airstrip alone is an attraction in its own right, so why deprive yourself?

Travelling with Donegal Airport

A lesser-known airport, yet ideal for discovering the north-west of Ireland!

Of course, Dublin or Cork airports are often more popular… but that’s mainly because Donegal Airport is less well known to users! It provides services on a par with its competitors and serves many domestic cities as well as cities all over the world! (Notably Glasgow, Scotland, with regular routes).

In terms of airlines, the airport also works with Aer Lingus and Loganair. All in all, a lot of possibilities in terms of air links.

Its location on the Wild Atlantic Way makes it an ideal airport from which to land and discover the beauty that Ireland has to offer, with its beaches, wild bays, cliffs and verdant mountains!

The icing on the cake: the resort boasts one of the finest airstrips in the world, in the shape of an arm of land surrounded by the sea! Many passengers take photos as their plane approaches to land!

Among the services available at Donegal Airport are :

  • parking (reasonably priced for any length of time)
  • a car rental service in the disembarkation hall
  • bars and restaurants
  • equipment for the disabled
  • stores of all kinds
  • access to the local tourist office in the arrivals area

The service is impeccable, disabled-friendly, and the airport offers services equivalent to those of other Irish airports.
