Good points 840. Galway missed the opportunity to re-locate the airport to a vastly superior site NW of Oranmore 10 years ago. This would have allowed significant RWY extension which is not possible at EICM.
RE's earlier ATR72's were WAT limited on some routes ex-EICM - not sure whether this applies to the new 72-500's - but some routes from EICM operate through EIWF - is this for commercial or operational reasons?
