SHANNON AIRPORT will welcome over 42,000 passengers this October Bank Holiday weekend.
Passenger numbers at Shannon Airport are up seven percent year to date. The end of October marks the beginning of Shannon’s winter schedule where there is increased capacity on five of the seventeen Ryanair services and an extra 30,000 seats.
CEO of The Shannon Airport Group, Mary Considine said: “Our passenger numbers at Shannon Airport are up 7% year-to-date, and we are really looking forward to welcoming over 42,000 passengers during the October Halloween break. Our team have been working tirelessly to improve the airport experience and that is why, in addition to our existing supports, we have just joined the global Hidden Disabilities Sunflower programme to enhance the airport experience for all customers.
“We’re proud to be ranked as Ireland’s top airport for customer satisfaction in the recent CXi Insights report. More and more passengers from across the country are discovering how convenient it is to fly from Shannon. Whether passengers are heading off on a Halloween holiday or arriving for business or pleasure, we’re dedicated to making their journey enjoyable from the moment they step into the airport. The holiday starts here,” she said.
Ryanair’s schedule at Shannon features city break options to Budapest, Edinburgh, Krakow, Liverpool, London, and Manchester, as well as popular winter sun hotspots including Alicante, Lanzarote, Malaga, and Tenerife. Shannon’s winter schedule also sees the return of the popular Italian ski destination to Turin with a Saturday departure.
Aer Lingus will operate up to six daily departures to Paris, London Heathrow, New York JFK and Boston for winter ’24.
