It was pure economics, fares from GWY became unattractive and the solution was to move west, reducing flight time from 20 min to 6 or 7 min, especially when the cost of constructing Connemara Regional Airport (INV) were largely born by Udaras na Gaeltachta. It's much cheaper to run a dedicated minibus service from the city to INV.
