Monday 29th May 2023: Shannon Airport is gearing up for a surge in passenger traffic during the upcoming June Bank Holiday weekend, when over 42,000 passengers are expected to travel through the airport.

Mary Considine (CEO The Shannon Airport Group) said, “This weekend is a prime example of the surge in travel activity and signifies the vibrant recovery in the aviation industry. Our team is ready to welcome our passengers and visitors and the holiday feeling is evident right across the airport”.

“Our success to date, since the pandemic, is a testament to our staff and airline partners. We are committed to providing connectivity and supporting tourism in the region and beyond. The start of our new daily Chicago service with United this season opens new opportunities for business and tourism between Chicago’s global hub airport and the West of Ireland. While the return of Ryanair’s Corfu and Barcelona Girona services are providing more choice for our passengers”.
