Ireland's premier general aviation aerodrome near Dublin.

Location

Leixlip, Ireland

Weston Airport (ICAO: EIWT) is a small general aviation aerodrome located near Leixlip, County Kildare, Ireland, approximately 19 kilometres west of Dublin city centre. It serves private pilots, flight training, and light aircraft operations rather than scheduled commercial airline services. The aerodrome is home to several flying clubs and flight training organisations, making it an important hub for pilot education in the greater Dublin region. It features a grass and paved runway environment suitable for light aircraft and has historically supported corporate and private aviation activity in the area. Weston does not handle scheduled passenger services and has no IATA code assigned. Its operations are overseen under Irish Aviation Authority regulations, and it complements Dublin Airport by accommodating general aviation traffic that would otherwise burden the main international gateway.
