The Aero Club of Ireland, founded in 1953 and based at Weston Aerodrome, changed its name in 1956 to the Leinster Aero Club, at the same time becoming a limited liability company. In 1964, the club moved to Dublin Airport, where it remained for 40 years before relocating back to Weston in 2004. In 2006, the club moved to Trevet airfield, a grass strip near Dunshaughlin, Co. Meath, remaining there for ten years before returning in March 2016 to its ancestral home at Weston Airport, Lucan, Co. Dublin, where it is based to this day.

The club has a proud history of success stories – several members have gone on to become professional pilots with various airlines around the world.
