Weston Airport, also called Dublin Weston Airport, is a publicly licensed general aviation (GA) airport serving Dublin and its environs since the early 1930s. It is located, between Lucan in Dublin and Leixlip in County Kildare, approximately 8 NM (15 km; 9.2 mi) west of Dublin city. Its traffic is primarily private and commercial flight training as well as business/executive travel. It is the only general aviation airport in the greater Dublin region, and is home to one of Ireland's two approved training organisations for ab-initio professional pilot training.
The runway lies across the border between counties Kildare and Dublin. The facility is located on the Dublin side of the line. The airport operator's mailing address is in Lucan.
