Inis Mór Aerodrome (IATA: IOR, ICAO: EIIM) is located 1 nautical mile (1.9 km; 1.2 mi) southeast of Kilronan (Irish: Cill Rónáin), a town on the island of Inis Mór (Irish: Inis Mór), one of the Aran Islands off the coast of County Galway in Ireland.[1] It has one paved runway designated 14/32 which measures 490 by 18 m (1,608 by 59 ft).[1]
Service to Connemara Airport is provided by Aer Arann Islands,[2] an airline which also serves the other Aran Islands: Inis Oírr (Irish: Inis Oírr) and Inis Meáin (Irish: Inis Meáin).
In June 2018, the airline announced that it intended to cease operations at the airport in a dispute with the Irish government over funding.[3]
