On this day, 25th October 1985, the first commercial flights departed from what was then Connacht Regional Airport—three Aer Lingus charters bound for Rome.  An estimated 15,000 people gathered to wave off 400 pilgrims, marking the moment Monsignor James Horan’s vision took flight for the West.  In the decades since, Ireland West Airport has grown into a vital gateway for the West of Ireland and the overseas diaspora with over 900,000 passengers expected to pass through the airport in 2025 ❤️
