City of Derry Airport (IATA: LDY, ICAO: EGAE), previously known as RAF Eglinton and Londonderry Eglinton Airport, is a regional airport located 7 mi (11 km) northeast of Derry, Northern Ireland. It is located on the south bank of Lough Foyle, a short distance from the village of Eglinton and 8 mi (13 km) from the city centre.
The airport, also known locally as Eglinton Airport, has experienced a decline in passenger numbers in recent years partially due to the COVID pandemic and underfunding. In 2024, 179,095 passengers used the airport, having peaked at 438,996 in 2008. The airport is currently a base for the Scottish regional airline Loganair, who operate domestic flights to other parts of the UK. Other airlines who serve the airport include Ryanair, easyJet and Volotea.
