## Description

Gateway to the Ring of Kerry and the Dingle Peninsula, Kerry Airport (IATA: KIR, ICAO: EIKY) sits at Farranfore between Killarney and Tralee in Ireland's south-west. What began in 1969 as a modest community-driven airstrip now operates a roughly 2,000-metre asphalt runway and handled about 417,409 passengers in 2024. Ryanair serves London Stansted, Frankfurt-Hahn, Manchester, Alicante and Faro plus a daily Dublin link, and French regional carrier Chalair has recently joined the route map. Freight is limited to belly cargo on passenger aircraft; for larger consignments, Cork (IATA: ORK, approx. 100 km) and Shannon (IATA: SNN, approx. 110 km) offer complementary capacity.
