Shannon Airport announce 2 new routes for 2023

#Traveltradetogether

An early Christmas present for Shannon Airport as two new Mediterranean services announced by 26 routes & over 180 weekly flights from Ryanair for Summer ‘23 at Shannon Airport. The two exciting new destinations to Naples in Italy, and Porto in Portugal, will begin operating from Shannon in Summer ‘23. The new twice weekly services will run on Wednesdays and Sundays for both destinations.

This brings the total number of routes operated by Ryanair at Shannon Airport next summer to 26, and over 180 weekly flights – a 35% capacity growth on its Summer ‘22 offering.

Welcoming the announcement, Mary Considine (CEO The Shannon Airport Group) said, “This is fantastic news for our passengers and another win for Shannon Airport, due to the hard work of our Aviation Development team.   Porto is a great coastal city with incredible history, while Naples offers so much to see and do, and opens opportunities for passengers to explore the wonderful Amalfi coastline. These destinations will provide further connectivity for Shannon and the region, and highlights Shannon’s continued growth since the pandemic”.

“This is also extremely encouraging for our tourism industry across the region and along the Wild Atlantic Way, and these services will complement the exciting variety of destinations Shannon Airport has to offer for Summer ‘23”.

Dara Brady (Ryanair) Dara Brady said, “With Easter and Summer ’23 fast approaching, we are delighted to be bringing even more choice and value to our customers in the mid-west of the country with the addition of a further 2 new routes – Naples and Porto – to our Summer ‘23 schedule for Shannon, delivering over 180 weekly flights across an unbeatable selection of 26 exciting must-see sunny hotspots and vibrant city break destinations across Europe”.

“To mark this good news, we’ve launched a limited-time seat sale for early bird customers looking to bag themselves a recession busting bargain on their Summer ’23 holiday with fares starting from just €29.99 available now on Ryanair.com. “

The bumper summer schedule follows Shannon Airport’s biggest ever Ryanair winter schedule which currently operates 60 flights per week to a mix of sun, ski, and city break destinations.

For the past 35 years, Ryanair has successfully operated from Shannon carrying over 18 million passengers to date and promoting important rural development by investing heavily in the region.
