Donegal Airport

I’m sure I saw this posted before but can’t find it, does anyone know if it’s possible to fly to CFN on the first flight ex Dub, landing at 1345 and get back on the same plane to Dublin at 1410?

I know it’s tight but given the small airport wondered if it was possible or do staffing/resources at the airport mean it’s not possible?

You could contact the airport and see what they say? I wouldn't mind doing this myself sometime if there's good weather.

Can be done relatively easily according to them, plenty of time to get off and back through given the fact it’s a small regional airline.
