Situated on the south bank of Lough Foyle near Eglinton village and 11 km northeast of Derry city centre, City of Derry Airport (LDY) serves Northern Ireland by offering scheduled flights as well as seasonal charters worldwide.

Beginning in 1940s to support Royal Air Force operations in northern Britain, Londonderry Airport's history dates back to 1978 when Londonderry City Council decided to purchase it with an aim of improving transport infrastructure throughout Western Ulster region.

In 1989, the council undertook an extensive renovation with grant assistance from the European Regional Development Fund. This PS10.5 million project saw upgrades to airport facilities such as runways, taxiways, access roads, navigation equipment and runway lighting; additionally a new terminal building and fire station were constructed as well as upgraded terminal facilities.

CoDA has since steadily grown into offering short-haul charter services throughout the British Isles as well as helicopter pilot training and charter services.
