Ireland is now the proud owner of the world’s most scenic airport landing.
Donegal’s Carrickfinn airport has landed the top spot in the PrivateFly annual poll, beating off stiff competition from some of the most famous airports in the world.
The annual poll is conducted by public vote, with a panel of travel experts deciding on the final rankings.
Last year Donegal airport came in second place just behind Saba airport in The Netherlands.
Pauline Sweeney, the airport’s marketing manager said: “We’re happy out!
“We’re so proud to have Donegal Airport on the global stage, so a huge thanks goes out to everyone who took the time to vote.”
Sweeney went on: “These are the best views in the world.
“For returning emigrants, it gives them a first taste of home… it’s a very special location.”
The top ten is as follows:
- Donegal Airport (Ireland)
- Barra Airport (Scotland)
- Nice Airport (France)
- Queenstown Airport (New Zealand)
- Saba Airport (Netherlands Antilles)
- Orlando Melbourne International Airport (USA)
- Toronto Billy Bishop (Canada)
- London City Airport (England)
- St Maarten (Netherlands Antilles)
- Miami Airport (USA)
Here’s a sampler of the view coming in to land at the airport that only operates two routes currently (Glasgow & Dublin).
She’s a beaut alright.
