Shannon Airport launch “sizzling” summer schedule

SHANNON Airport is expecting “a busy summer” after launching five new services.

Shannon Airport officially launched their “sizzling” summer schedule on Monday, March 27.

Over the weekend, the first Ryanair flights to Naples, Porto, Béziers, Newcastle and Liverpool took to the skies as part of the airport’s summer schedule, which offers 33 services to 11 countries.

To add to firm holiday favourites from across Europe, the UK and the USA, the 2023 schedule includes six new services.

Five of the new services were announced by Ryanair last year, and all officially commenced within a 24-hour period between Sunday, March 26 and Monday, March 27. And, a daily service to the international hub of Chicago O’Hare Airport with United, is due to commence in May. 

CEO of The Shannon Airport Group, Mary Considine, commented:  “We are expecting a busy summer with services to 33 destinations on over 280 weekly flights. Our summer schedule includes increased frequency on 11 services, providing over 370,000 extra seats. This is fantastic news for our customers, and we would encourage people to support these by flying Shannon.”

She added: “Our team have worked hard to secure our new services, and we are delighted to see five of them take-off this weekend, officially marking the launch of our summer season.

“We are looking forward to welcoming passengers from across the country as they enjoy the ease of travelling through Shannon Airport. Due to our state-of-the-art seamless security screening system, which eliminates the need to remove liquids and electronics from your cabin bag, the average journey time from the car park to the gate is less than 15 minutes. This, along with our US preclearance facility, our age friendly status and our sensory room, provides a hassle-free journey for our passengers, as they set off on those well-deserved breaks.”
