Kerry Airport, International airport in Farranfore, Ireland
Kerry Airport is a commercial airport in Farranfore with a 2,000-meter (6,560 feet) runway positioned between Killarney and Tralee. The terminal includes car rental services, parking facilities, and standard airport amenities.
Operations began in 1969 with a 1,090-meter (3,575 feet) runway, which was extended to 2,000 meters in 1994. This expansion allowed the facility to accommodate larger commercial aircraft and increased regional connectivity.
The airport carries both English and Irish names—Kerry Airport and Aerfort Chiarraí—reflecting the region's bilingual identity. You'll see both languages displayed throughout the terminal and signage.
The airport maintains daily flights to Dublin and London, with regular connections to Frankfurt and other European destinations. Clear signage throughout the facility helps travelers find their way easily, and car rental desks are conveniently located near the terminal exit.
The facility sits just minutes from the Ring of Kerry, a scenic loop drive through southwestern mountains and coastal views. Many visitors arrive here specifically to begin exploring that route and the traditional villages scattered along it.
