Aer Arann was established in the 1970's to provide an island-hopping air service from Galway to the Aran Islands off the West coast of Ireland. In 1994 Padraig O'Ceidigh purchased Aer Arann and set about laying the groundwork for a feeder air service for Ireland and the UK.
Today, Aer Arann is one of the world's fastest growing regional airlines, with a turnover in excess of EUR95 million per annum and passenger numbers of 1.15 million for 2005. The airline currently operates over 600 flights per week across 35 routes in Ireland, the UK and France. Its main base is Dublin International Airport, with hubs at Cork International Airport and Galway Airport.
