Belmullet Aerodrome is a small airfield serving the Erris region of County Mayo, located just west of Belmullet town on the Mullet Peninsula. It primarily handles general aviation, private aircraft, and occasional emergency or medical flights, with no regular scheduled passenger service today. Its remote coastal setting makes it a useful access point for exploring the Wild Atlantic Way and northwest Mayo.
💡 Local Tip
Coastal weather changes quickly here, so check for sea fog and strong crosswinds before a flight or pickup. On a clear day, the approach over Broadhaven Bay and the Mullet Peninsula is especially scenic.
🚖 Getting There
The airfield is a short taxi or car ride from Belmullet town, and there is no dedicated airport bus. Local bus services connect Belmullet to larger towns such as Ballina and Castlebar, but you will need a taxi for the final leg to the airport. If driving, follow local signs from Belmullet town and allow extra time on narrow coastal roads.
