Islanders on the three Aran Islands have expressed relief now that certainty has been given over the future of the air service.
Gaeltacht Minister and Galway West / South Mayo T.D Seán Kyne says Galway Aviation Services Limited (Aer Arann) has been selected as the preferred tender.
The Public Service Obligation contract will run from January 1st 2017 to December 31st 2020.
The tender deadline had been extended several times in the past over an impasse between Na Minna airport and the Department.
Cathy Ní Ghoill from the Comharchumann Forbartha Árann says islanders are relieved about the new air contract while the winter ferry service is still in limbo.
Minister Seán Kyne says the new contract will provide continuity of service for islanders and visitors.
