Small Airport in the middle of nowhere…

Officially known as Ireland West Airport Knock (Irish: Aerfort Iarthar Éireann Chnoc Mhuire), commonly known as Knock Airport, is an international airport 5.6 km (3.48 mi) south-west of Charlestown, County Mayo, Ireland. The village of Knock is 20 km (12.43 mi) away.

Pope Johannes Paul II. visited first the Airport in 1985 - the official opening was on 30 May 1986. The primary motivation for building it was to attract pilgrims to Knock Shrine.

The Sanctuary of Our Lady of Knock, commonly referred to as Knock Shrine, is a Roman Catholic pilgrimage site and national shrine in the village of Knock, County Mayo, Ireland, where locals claimed to have seen an apparition in 1879 of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Saint Joseph, Saint John, angels and Jesus Christ.
