    How about flights to Tenerife, Lanzarote and all the Canary islands

      London Gatwick would be great for anyone travelling to somewhere South of the Thames. Plus there is amazing options for onwatd travel from Gatwick.

    I second that suggestion to have flights to the Canaries Islands. Maureen Somers

      Train to Stop at Kerry Airport Would be Fantastic and Flights to The Canary Islands
      Gran Canaria Lanzarote would be well supported

  3. I wanted to take a flight from Kerry airport recently however the earliest bus from Limerick would not get me there on time for the flight

    If there is to be a specific focus on potential Italian destinations to be considered for Kerry Airport, Rome, Milan, Florence and Venice are very popular destinations that would be good choices for flights from Kerry Airport. Furthermore, in such a context, Perugia is yet another route that it would be well worth Kerry Airport covering: Perugia is a beautiful historical city with a lot to see and this route is currently not served by any Irish airport, so flights there would give Kerry Airport a major competitive advantage.

    How about Jersey,? The island is very beautiful, close and has a lot of Irish living on the island the majority of the irish from south counties mainly Cork and Limerick. There used to be a flight some years but stopped and the flights were always full. It would be wonderful if it could be started again. Hopefully it makes since to have another try.
