Enniskillen/St Angelo Airport (IATA: ENK, ICAO: EGAB) is located 3 NM (5.6 km; 3.5 mi) north of Enniskillen, County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland. Enniskillen/St Angelo Aerodrome has a CAA Ordinary Licence (Number P875) that allows flights for the public transport of passengers or for flying instruction as authorised by the licensee (Enniskillen Airport Limited).
First built and used during World War II as RAF St Angelo and later renamed St Angelo Barracks while in use as a British Army base, the airfield has been in private ownership as a civilian airport since 1996. The original two runways were reduced to one following the development of the main Enniskillen to Kesh road.
Scheduled passenger flights have, in the past, operated from this airport, but these have ceased since 2006. There are a number of companies based at the Airport offering a wide range of flying and aircraft related services.

Famous quotes containing the words angelo and/or airport:
“Some theosophists have arrived at a certain hostility and indignation towards matter, as the Manichean and Plotinus. They distrusted in themselves any looking back to these flesh-pots of Egypt. Plotinus was ashamed of his body. In short, they might all say of matter, what Michael Angelo said of external beauty, “it is the frail and weary weed, in which God dresses the soul, which he has called into time.””
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“It was like taking a beloved person to the airport and returning to an empty house. I miss the people. I miss the world.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
