SHANNON Airport is gearing up for busy St. Brigid’s bank holiday, with over 21,000 passengers expected to pass through the airports doors.
This will mark a 12% increase on passenger traffic when compared to the same period in 2023.
Following the inaugural February Bank Holiday in 2023, the airport has seen a growing appetite among customers for winter sunshine breaks and city escapes over the new bank holiday period.
