Ryanair, Europe’s No.1 airline, today (Tues, 28 Oct), announced that the first flights of its new Winter 2025 routes from Shannon to Madeira, Madrid, and Lapland (Rovaniemi) took off today. Ryanair will operate each of these exciting new Winter 2025 routes twice per week, providing customers in the Mid-West with even more choice at Europe’s lowest fares.

These are just 3 of 20 routes that Ryanair is operating to/from Shannon Airport this Winter, all of which are available to book now at ryanair.com.

Ryanair’s Comms Director, Jade Kirwan, said:

We’re pleased to see the first flights of our new Winter 2025 routes from Shannon take off today, carrying lots of cheerful passengers heading away for some well-warranted winter sun in Madeira and Madrid or to experience the magic of snowy Lapland. These exciting new Winter 2025 routes to Madeira, Madrid, and Lapland (Rovaniemi) will each operate twice per week, adding to Ryanair’s already robust Irish Winter 2025 schedule, offering even more choice at the lowest fares.

Shannon Airport Group’s Interim CEO, Ray O’Driscoll, said:

“We’re delighted to see Ryanair’s three new Winter ’25 routes from Shannon Airport to Madrid, Rovaniemi (Lapland), and Madeira take to the skies this week. These inaugural flights mark a fantastic boost to Ryanair’s already strong schedule from Shannon and further cement our position as a key gateway to and from the West of Ireland. We’re gearing up for a busy October Bank Holiday period, with passenger numbers up 9% compared to the same period last year, and we’re looking forward to sending people off to these fantastic destinations with a hassle-free start to their holidays.”
