Over twenty years after its acquisition the airport is beginning to have the impact on the regional economy envisaged by the Council in 1978. The Government's regional development strategy as outlined in the Shaping Our Future report identifies the city as the regional capital of the North West and Derry City Council is determined to develop the region's infrastructure in order to encourage economic development and inward investment.
The City of Derry Airport is being developed as the main gateway to the entire North West region for both business and leisure traffic. The airport is ideally placed to serve not only the city but its natural hinterland in County Derry, North Antrim, Tyrone and Donegal. This cross border dimension has been recognised by both Donegal County Council and the Irish Government who have clearly identified the airport as the principal gateway to the county.
