History
The first aircraft to land at Kerry was flown by Captain Milo Carr of the Department of Transport and Power (now the Department of Transport) on 25 August 1969. For ten years the airport was only used by light private aircraft and the occasional chartered cargo flight. The first scheduled service began in July 1979.
It was announced in February 2012, due to the codeshare agreement with AerLingus that the currently operated Dublin service with Aer Arann will be operated from 30 October with Aer Lingus Regional
