#Traveltradetogether

Shannon Airport has today (Monday 31st March ’25) unveiled its summer 2025 schedule, featuring two new services and a substantial increase of 190,000 seats, 11% ahead of 2024 services.

This summer the airport will operate 36 services to 11 countries, including a brand-new twice weekly service to the Portuguese island of Madeira which celebrated its inaugural flight yesterday, and a new charter service to Palma with TUI, providing even more options for sun-seekers.

About to board the inaugural flight to Madeira are Cranley family Hugh (9) with his parents Caroline and Eoin from Kildimo Co Limerick with First Officer Augusto Ferrara (left) who is from Madeira and Base Captain Justin Charbon.

This expansion aims to enhance travel options for passengers seeking city escapes and holiday breaks across Europe, the UK, and the USA.

Overall, Shannon Airport will see an 11% increase in summer 2025 services compared to 2024, including 16 extra weekly departures with Ryanair to popular locations like Faro, Malaga, Alicante, Barcelona, Edinburgh, and Porto.

At the Madeira boarding gate at Shannon Airport are Caragh, Oisin (2) and Daithi O’Ceallaigh from Cloonagh Co Clare.

Commenting on the airport’s summer services announcement, Mary Considine, CEO of The Shannon Airport Group said: “We are anticipating a bustling summer with 332 weekly flights on our 36 services, including new routes to Madeira with Ryanair and Palma with TUI. The increased frequency on thirteen services, adding 190,000 extra seats, reflects Shannon Airport’s growing popularity as a vital gateway for European, UK, and transatlantic travel. We are committed to providing a seamless experience from the moment passengers arrive. With ease of parking, our hi-tech security screening, US Preclearance facility, age-friendly measures, and airport sensory room, travellers can look forward to a hassle free and enjoyable journey.”

“Our numerous awards and accolades for customer service highlight why Shannon is Ireland’s favourite airport. We proudly rank first in the travel category for customer experience excellence in the Ireland Customer Experience Insights (CXi) Report. Thanks to our loyal customers and the dedication and hard work of our staff, we also maintain our status as the country’s top airport brand according to the RED C Brand Reaction Index (BRII) Ireland,” said Ms Considine.

At the Madeira boarding gate at Shannon Airport is 11 year old Jayden Kiely, Caherdavin Limerick, on his way to visit the Cristiano Ronaldo museum in Madeira with his mum Stephanie Keane.

The new summer schedule is supported by a comprehensive advertising campaign targeting audiences across Ireland through TV, radio, press, YouTube and social media advertising. Additionally, an enhanced Shannon Airport mobile app is now available to download on the Apple App Store and Google Play. The App offers real time flight status updates, an augmented reality feature to measure cabin bags, and a pin your car feature to help locate your car in the airport car park on your return.
