An inspiration that gave emigrants a chance to visit home for Christmas. A great man of faith Monsignor Horan. Great documentary from mid eighties.

If Monceniur Horan could run da Devil out of a dancehall he could build a airport in knock

Stupid decision by Air France to scrap their A380 fleet.

This just shows this man had no planning permission and went ahead and built an aerport and look at it now so they, ll put you in jail for not having a tv licence but you can build what you want depends on who you are welcome to Ireland

This airport should be named after this courageous man

I’ve been to knock airport I didn’t even think it had a big enough runway for her

Great video, but why so few comments?

Lol... that rallye fairly hopped off the ground

the simpletons with the prayer book crapola :)

What a man. Lord rest him. His can-do approach was so inspiring. We need more like him for Ireland.

Nick, best of luck in the Olympics ❤❤❤❤❤

What I really do love about Knock Airport is that the memory and the legacy of Mgr James Horan the original founder of the airport is kept alive and is never forgotten long after his passing ❤❤❤❤❤

Much Love and Best Wishes to all the team at Knock Airport from Manchester U.K. - being Irish, originally from Dunshaughlin, Co Meath, I’ve lived 23 years in Manchester and I come home to Ireland frequently - I’m always looking for ideas for things to do during a relaxing holiday in the West of Ireland, aside from Knock Shrine itself and I’ve always been supportive of the airport since its inception by Mgr James Horan - I remember him as a child growing up in Dunshaughlin and he was a great man indeed 🇮🇪☘️🇮🇪❤️❤️❤️❤️

1:33 being Irish and living 23 years in Manchester myself, I agree with this lovely Lancashire lady - I still hold an Irish passport here in the U.K. but Ireland will always be my real home 🇮🇪☘️🇮🇪❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

1:58 Darren is a hottie - I’m surprised no one else has noticed this gorgeous hunk ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Msgr Horan had two simple dreams. Built this airport and build a new parish hall and he was happy out after that

If only the Irish gov had as much courage to build the western rail corridor. Mísneach

I grew up in Dunshaughlin Co Meath when Knock Airport was being built and I was always supportive of the airport as an aviation enthusiast - many decades later here in Manchester U.K., I’m as supportive of Knock Airport as I ever was - I’d love to see direct flights to Knock from Manchester and Liverpool (the latter of which is nearer to me in terms of public transport accessibility) but aside from that, I’d love to fly into Knock in a Cessna or a private jet direct from Manchester or Liverpool as I’ve always wanted to become a pilot - I know that Knock Airport is featured in Microsoft Flight Simulator and other flight sim programs and I believe that VATSIM does flights to Knock - the approach to RWY 27 at EIKN is as challenging as Telluride especially in IMC in the Shannon FIR so IFR is recommended on finals

Well done monsienur r.i.p . None of that rabble in the south have done anything since of any value for their people.

Went there in 1980's.

I live close to knock and im so sad i missed this!

Why is no one commenting on this film? Is it because RTE produced it? Can't believe there's no traction here.

The 10 millionth looked like she needed a slap up the bake. What an ungrateful auld bitch.

Pity to see the FlyBe crowd disappear due to corruption and bad management. Hopefully Aer Lingus Regional or whatever they call themselves will replace their missing routes.

How come it took four years or more to see this little gem. A great asset to Connaught and a great tribute to a fabulous human being in Monsignor Horan! Nice to see a bustling, modern facility in the bog of beyond!

What a disgrace that the airport doesn't bear this great man's name.

Great

I remember that time

He was a great man . Fr Horan 🙏😍

Has anyone else ever heard a conspiracy that it was funded by the cia?

My dad john Crosby and paddy glynn

They must've picked an extremely windy day

Brilliant little airport! Baggage collection from the plane is done with a garden tractor pulling trailors

21:15 superhero shot

Island west airport, I love beanie boos

Monsignor Horan had permission from the CIA to build a runway just long enough for US bombers to take off and land. You don’t need planning permission when the American government is backing you. 🇺🇸🇮🇪

Can anyone upload his hilarious interview with CBS 60 minutes - it was something else (in a good way).

If that man only knew that by 2023 his airport would have welcomed, hundreds of thousands of passengers, celebrities, the holy father pope Francis and the US President (& Vice President in 2016!) - SUPERB!

Didn't this a380 use to fly for Air France before it was flown to Ireland West Airport and scappred?

Reverse thrust was so quick to slow the plane.

Fabulous touch down, well done that man, oops or lady.

Oh my. So many stuffed brown envelope loving crooks in the one piece of film. Reynolds, Haughey and Flynn. A stain on this great nation.

how can an a380 land at ireland west airport knock but not at dublin airport? DUBLIN AIRPORT HAS 3 WHOLE RUNWAYS....

God almighty they must wear the elverys jersey in bed and to funerals do they ever wear anything else god help them

Magníficat ánima mea Dóminum. Et exultávit spíritus meus: in Deo salutári meo. Quia respéxit humilitátem ancíllae suae: Ecce enim ex hoc beátam me dicent omnes generatiónes. Quia fécit mihi mágna qui pótens est: et sánctum nómen eius. Et misericórdia eius in progénies et progénies timéntibus eum. Fécit poténtiam in bráchio suo: dispérsit supérbos mente cordis sui. Depósuit poténtes de sede: et exaltávit húmiles. Esuriéntes implévit bonis: et dívites dimísit inánes. Suscépit Ísrael púerum suum: recordátus misericórdiae suae. Sicut locútus est ad patres nostros: Ábraham, et sémini eius in saecula.

Often flew from there.. a great man to have achieved this lord rest him

My favourite airport in the world because I wouldn't be home half as much were it not for it. No fecking about either as 5 mins after rocking up you are through security and in departures

Just when you think reality tv couldn't get ANY worse...

This really was amazing ! What’s an absolute legend!

Strange there is no livery on the plane. Is it brand spanking new or for the chop . Would it be able to take of / land fully loaded ?.
