On her first appearance for her new trainer, the filly was tried over seven furlongs for the first time in the Athasi Stakes at the Curragh in April and started 5/2 joint favourite in an eight-runner field. Ridden by Fallon she took the lead two furlongs out but was caught in the final strides and beaten into third by the three-year-olds Hazariya and Sky High Flyer. Airwave was stepped up again in distance for Group Two Ridgewood Pearl Stakes over one mile at the Curragh on 21 May and started 11/8 joint favourite alongside the British-trained four-year-old Kinnaird. Fallon restrained the filly at the back of the five runner field before making progress approaching the final furlong. She took the lead 100 yards from the finish and won by three quarters of a length from Miss Trish, with Kinnaird a length away in third. In June she returned to Britain for the Royal meeting, run that year at York Racecourse, in which she finished sixth behind Peeress in the Windsor Forest Stakes. Airwave was retired from racing to become a broodmare for Liberty Bloodstock, a breeding company associated with the Coolmore Stud. To date (December 2015), she has produced at least six foals and four winners:
