History
The first aircraft to land at Kerry was flown by Captain Milo Carr of the Department of Transport and Power (now the Department of Transport) on 25 August 1969. For ten years the airport was only used by light private aircraft and the occasional chartered cargo flight. The first scheduled service began in July 1979.
It was announced in February 2012, due to the codeshare agreement with AerLingus that the currently operated Dublin service with Aer Arann will be operated from 30 October with Aer Lingus Regional

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“To care for the quarrels of the past, to identify oneself passionately with a cause that became, politically speaking, a losing cause with the birth of the modern world, is to experience a kind of straining against reality, a rebellious nonconformity that, again, is rare in America, where children are instructed in the virtues of the system they live under, as though history had achieved a happy ending in American civics.”
—Mary McCarthy (1912–1989)
“... that there is no other way,
That the history of creation proceeds according to
Stringent laws, and that things
Do get done in this way, but never the things
We set out to accomplish and wanted so desperately
To see come into being.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“America is the only nation in history which miraculously has gone directly from barbarism to degeneration without the usual interval of civilization.”
—Georges Clemenceau (1841–1929)
