Ireland West Airport is unique in the Irish aviation industry in that it is operated as an independent airport by Connaught Airport Development Company (CADCO) Ltd, a private company responsible for its day-to-day operation. CADCO’s shareholding is a Partnership between the Horan Airport Trust and seven local authorities in the West and North West region, who each hold 82.5% and 17.5% of the company, respectively. The trustees of the Horan Airport Trust are responsible for ensuring that any profits generated by the airport are reinvested in the airport, with a focus on supporting the surrounding region. Through this structure, a level of community and regional-economy involvement is brought to bear on the airport’s focus, which is uncommon elsewhere.
