Galway Airport Runway at Risk | Galway News

Galway Airport’s runway is under threat as local councils prepare to sell the site, but the Galway Chamber has jumped on board to defend it—calling it a vital economic engine. Advocates argue the runway is worth preserving, comparing it to London City Airport, and warn replacing it could cost up to 100 million euros. Beyond aviation, the site’s potential includes a helicopter emergency service, flight training, national defense, and a startup campus. The push is now for councils to either make runway retention a sale condition or keep it publicly owned, with the Chamber backing a feasibility study to unlock long-term innovation and growth for Galway.
