Handling & FBO

Signature AviationUniversal Aviation

These are the handling companies the airport lists for private and business aircraft. Handling is compulsory here, so you will need to use one.

See the full handling and FBO page, or download the directions PDF.

Operational Notes

Private-aviation passengers use the FBO terminals rather than the main passenger terminals: Signature is at T1X (Terminal 1 area); Universal is at Corballis Park, Toberbunny, with a landside office.

AIP records periodic closures of runway 10R/28L roughly every 8 weeks; minimum handling is mandatory for aircraft under 2 tonnes. Weston (EIWT) is the nearby light-aircraft airfield but is restricted to private use.
