An online petition to reopen Galway Airport has gathered just over 3,300 signatures.
The airport at Carnmore has been closed to flights for over a decade, and the site has been used for concerts in recent years.
Those behind it are looking to bring the petition to the City and County Councils - and say it would bring benefits such as economic growth, tourism potential and transport connectivity.
The petition was created in May 2025, and picked up pace recently, gathering around a thousand signatures in the past month.

The council has been seeking expressions of interest for the site over the past six months, and that process is still ongoing.
