Aran Islands. Celebration of 40 years of Air Travel.
Monday, August 16th, 2010Aran air service celebrates 40th.
From Todays Irish Times.
The foresight of the people who campaigned for an air service between the three Aran Islands and the mainland was praised yesterday by Eamon Ó Cuív at a ceremony to mark the 40th anniversary of the opening of the first airport on the islands, writes John Fallon.
The Galway West TD and Minister for Social Protection said people were benefiting today from campaigning work carried out in the 1960s by islanders.
The first airport on the three islands opened in 1970 at Killeaney on Inis Mór, and further airports followed on the smaller islands, Inis Meáin and Inis Oirr.
A fare of £5 was charged on the first flights which flew from Aran to Galway Airport at Carnmore.
Hundreds of people attended the 40th anniversary celebrations on Inis Mór yesterday.
