Speaking about the partnership with 2FM, Emily Brown, Brand Manager for Shannon Airport, said: “We are thrilled to be partnering with 2FM again this year as we prepare for take-off on the second year of our Dream Ticket Give-Away. We were blown away with the response to the competition last year, with over 12,000 competition entries received from every corner of the country during the weeklong giveaway, and we look forward to continuing to build on that momentum with this year’s partnership.” 

“As we continue to welcome more and more passengers from all over Ireland, we’re delighted to celebrate our summer schedule on the national airwaves by giving audiences the chance to win flights to our dream destinations, across Europe, the US and the UK.” 

“There is great excitement here in Shannon as we prepare to welcome Doireann, Donncha and Carl back to the airport for what is sure to be a morning to remember. We can’t wait to see what the 2FM crew get up to while they are here, and we would encourage listeners to ‘check-in’ to 2FM next week for a chance to win their very own dream holiday!”
