In the 1970's Aer Arann began flying from Galway to the Aran Islands, providing an island-hopping air service from the mainland to each of the three Islands.

In 1994 Padraig O'Ceidigh and a partner purchased Aer Arann and set about laying the groundwork for a feeder air service for Ireland and the UK.

Today, Aer Arann Express is one of the world's fastest growing regional airlines, with a turnover in excess of €50 million and annual passenger numbers of 525,000 for 2003.
