Shannon Airport reopens after temporary closure due to heavy fog

SERVICES have resumed at Shannon Airport after it was forced to temporarily close this Monday morning due to heavy fog conditions.

Some disruptions are expected to continue to the flight schedule throughout the rest of the day as a result of the earlier closure.

The airport has advised passengers to check their flight status "directly with the airline in advance of travelling."

The poor visibility conditions also coincided with essential taxiway maintenance work.

Shannon Airport have apologised for the disruptions, and said they "regret any inconvenience this may cause to our passengers".

"Our airport staff and airline partners will continue to work to minimise any further delays or disruptions, and we appreciate your understanding at this time," they said in a statement posted to X (formerly known as Twitter).
