Over its history, Dublin Weston Airport has been home to many flying clubs and today that tradition continues with Trim Flying Club, Hotel Bravo Flying Club and Dublin Flyers all calling Dublin Weston Airport home.
Many past and current pilots, flying commercially, started their journey to become pilots at Dublin Weston Airport.

Over close to a century, Dublin Weston Airport has undergone many additions and enhancements, including a tarmac runway, new control tower, hangers, VOR and a terminal building.
In 2021, the airport was bought by a consortium of aviation enthusiasts and through their investment will take the airport into the 21st century and build on its illustrious history. Since then, the terminal has undergone extensive renovation with the addition of private lounges for passengers and pilot planning pods.
A full modernisation of our airport security infrastructure has taken place with over €3m invested. Extensive security fencing, advanced scanning equipment and a state of the art CCTV monitoring system are now in place within and around the airport.
Dublin Weston Airport can now take its place as one of the premier executive airports in Europe.
