Airport Information
Dublin Airport
Dublin Airport serves as Ireland’s primary aviation gateway and is the main airport handling private jet charter flights to and from Dublin. Located approximately 10 kilometres north of the city centre, the airport provides quick access to the Irish capital, with private transfers typically reaching central districts along the River Liffey in around 20 minutes depending on traffic.
Handling more than 30 million passengers annually, Dublin Airport is one of Europe’s key transatlantic aviation hubs. The airport operates two runways and offers modern infrastructure capable of accommodating the full range of business aircraft, from light jets through to long-range private jets arriving from North America, the Middle East and across Europe.
Private jet travellers benefit from dedicated general aviation facilities and fixed base operators (FBOs) that provide discreet and efficient handling services. These facilities typically include VIP lounges, private customs and immigration processing, crew services and direct ground transportation from the aircraft to the city.
Dublin’s position on the western edge of Europe also makes it an important entry point for transatlantic private aviation routes. Private jet flights frequently connect Dublin with cities such as London, Paris, Geneva and Zurich, while long-range aircraft regularly operate between Dublin and destinations in North America and the Middle East.
Beyond the capital, Dublin Airport also provides convenient access to the wider island of Ireland. From the airport, travellers can reach the Wicklow Mountains, Ireland’s dramatic eastern coastline or the cultural centres of cities such as Galway and Cork within a few hours by road or short regional flight.
For private aviation travellers arriving in Ireland, Dublin Airport (DUB / EIDW) remains the country’s most important and best-equipped airport, offering efficient operations, strong international connectivity and rapid access to the historic heart of the Irish capital.

Dublin Weston Airport
Weston Airport serves as Dublin’s primary general aviation airport and is located approximately 15 kilometres west of the city centre near the town of Lucan. Established in the early 1930s, the airport has long played an important role in Irish aviation and today operates as one of the country’s busiest centres for general aviation activity.
The airport primarily supports smaller aircraft operations, including turboprops, helicopters and some light business jets. Because of runway length and infrastructure limitations, larger private jets operating long-range or heavy business aircraft typically use Dublin Airport (DUB / EIDW) instead. However, Weston remains a useful alternative for certain private aviation flights where aircraft size and operational requirements allow.
Weston Airport’s location provides relatively quick access to central Dublin, with private transfers typically reaching the city centre in around 30 minutes depending on traffic. The airport is also conveniently positioned for access to western Dublin’s technology and business districts.
As a dedicated general aviation facility, Weston offers specialised services for private aviation movements including aircraft handling, passenger lounges and crew facilities. Its focus on smaller aircraft operations allows for efficient movements and a quieter environment compared with larger commercial airports.
While most private jet charter flights to Dublin operate through Dublin Airport, Weston Airport (EIWT) remains an important part of the region’s aviation infrastructure and continues to support business aviation activity within the greater Dublin area.
