Castlebridge airport (IATA: EXF, ICAO:EICD) is located in the the city of Wexford, Ireland.
Airport Overview
Castlebridge airport(EXF; ICAO: EICD)is identified in the supplied airport record as a local airport serving Wexford, Ireland, at approximately 52.400000°N, 6.483000°W. Its position is relevant to local collection and delivery planning in County Wexford, but the supplied record lists no regular passenger or express cargo service. It should therefore be treated as a destination-side or feeder point rather than an assumed international cargo gateway. Our service team can assess whether the shipment should move by road to a suitable Irish gateway, subject to aircraft availability, customs routing, cargo acceptance, and consignee requirements.

Key Highlights
Cargo Facilities & Services
Specific cargo-terminal infrastructure, customs warehouses, bonded storage, cold rooms, dangerous-goods facilities, screening equipment, and operating hours are not established by the supplied record. Our service team will not assume that these facilities are available at Castlebridge airport.
- Acceptance: Confirm in writing whether the airport or a nominated local operator can accept the aircraft type, shipment dimensions, weight, ULD or pallet format, and handling equipment required.
- Customs and bonded handling: Arrange the customs location and transit procedure through the selected gateway or authorised logistics operator; do not route uncleared cargo to an unconfirmed local point.
- Temperature-controlled freight: Use a validated cold-chain provider and pre-agreed handover plan. Availability of cool rooms, refrigerated vehicles, and monitoring cannot be inferred from the airport code.
- Dangerous goods and special cargo: Obtain advance acceptance for dangerous goods, lithium batteries, live animals, valuables, oversized pieces, and aircraft-on-ground materials before tender.
- Final-mile delivery: Confirm vehicle access, consignee receiving hours, tail-lift requirements, security procedures, and whether delivery is airport-side or road-side.
Routes & Logistics Transit Planning
- For international cargo, our team will normally compare a road feeder from Wexford with uplift through a confirmed Irish gateway or a European hub. The final choice depends on origin, destination, capacity, customs status, and required delivery date.
- Common planning patterns may include airport-to-airport movement via a confirmed gateway, airport-to-door delivery by truck, or an express integrator solution when the integrator accepts the commodity and postcode. Specific airlines, frequencies, and routings require live confirmation.
- Transit cannot be quoted from the Castlebridge airport code alone. Cut-off times, truck availability, export screening, customs inspections, interline transfers, weekend schedules, weather, and consignee opening hours must be included in the booking plan.
- Our quotations will separate the air sector from origin collection, road feeder, handling, customs, and final delivery so that operational dependencies are visible before shipment release.
Hinterland & Key Cargo
- Service area: Wexford and surrounding southeast Ireland are the practical collection and delivery hinterland; exact coverage depends on road access and the consignee postcode.
- Typical forwarder demand: General commercial cargo, spare parts, samples, machinery components, e-commerce parcels, and time-sensitive documents may be suitable for a road-fed airfreight solution.
- Temperature-sensitive goods: Food, seafood, biological materials, and pharmaceutical products require commodity-specific packaging, temperature limits, monitoring, and confirmed handling points.
- Restricted commodities: Batteries, chemicals, aerosols, perishables, live animals, valuables, and oversized cargo must be reviewed individually; local-airport acceptance cannot be assumed.
Operations & Compliance
- Obtain a confirmed booking, acceptance point, operating window, and truck appointment before cargo leaves the shipper. A database listing does not establish current airport availability or a published cargo cut-off.
- Provide a complete commercial invoice, packing list, transport instruction, consignee and importer details, commodity description, HS classification where required, and customs data appropriate to the trade lane.
- For dangerous goods, submit the correct declaration, packing information, battery details, safety data where applicable, and any carrier-specific approval before tender. Never describe regulated cargo only as “parts” or “samples.”
- For live animals, medicines, perishables, or other controlled cargo, confirm permits, welfare or health documentation, temperature requirements, handling responsibility, and contingency arrangements in advance.
- Customs inspection, security screening, road transfer, and final collection may occur away from Castlebridge airport. Our service team will identify the responsible facility and customs status in the operating plan.
Shipping Tips
- Send dimensions, gross weight, piece count, commodity, value, origin, destination, and requested delivery date before asking for a rate; these details determine whether a road-fed gateway is more suitable than local-airport delivery.
- Book early for non-standard freight. Our team should verify aircraft, truck, handling, customs, and receiving capacity separately rather than treating the airport code as proof of an available flight.
- Use robust export packaging with piece-level marks, shock or temperature protection where required, and documentation placed in a weather-resistant pouch. Confirm pallet, tail-lift, and vehicle restrictions before dispatch.
- Keep a contingency option through a confirmed Irish or European gateway for urgent, dangerous-goods, refrigerated, oversized, or high-value shipments. The alternative should be approved before the primary plan is released.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can Castlebridge airport receive a scheduled international airfreight shipment?
Do not assume this. The supplied record lists no passenger or express cargo service. Our service team must verify current operator acceptance, aircraft availability, customs arrangements, and the required road feeder before confirming the routing.
Should EXF be used as the main airport code on the air waybill?
Only when the selected carrier and handling chain explicitly accept Castlebridge airport as the operational destination. Otherwise, the air waybill should reflect the confirmed cargo gateway, with the Wexford delivery address handled as a road or final-mile destination.
Can our team move dangerous goods, lithium batteries, or dry ice through Castlebridge airport?
Acceptance must be obtained in advance from the actual carrier, handling agent, and road operator. Provide the correct classification, packing instruction, declaration, battery information, and dry-ice quantity where applicable; acceptance is not implied by the airport listing.
How should urgent or temperature-sensitive cargo be planned?
Our team will first confirm a gateway with suitable handling, then arrange a monitored road feeder and a named receiving contact. The plan should include handover times, temperature limits, contingency storage, customs status, and delivery hours.
Data Sources & Provenance
Identity fields, coordinates, city, country, time-zone entry, and the listed service counts are reproduced from the supplied airport data record. No unverified runway, terminal, cargo-warehouse, throughput, airline, schedule, handling-hour, or transit-time figures have been added.
For regulatory and operational cross-checking, our service team uses the relevant Irish aviation and customs authorities and carrier or handling-operator confirmations. Official reference domains include iaa.ie and revenue.ie. These domains provide general authority and customs reference points; they do not by themselves confirm current cargo facilities or flight availability at Castlebridge airport.
Verification boundary: Current acceptance, customs routing, operating hours, special-cargo capability, road feeder availability, and delivery commitments must be reconfirmed for each shipment before booking.
