Checking in at Shannon Airport for a cracking Easter break are 18-month-old Ivar Killeen and his Mum Katie Black from Ennis
Shannon Airport is preparing for a busy Easter weekend as it expects to cater for more than 123,000 passengers - making it the busiest holiday period so far this year.
Commenting ahead of the long weekend, Mary Considine, CEO of The Shannon Airport Group said teams across the airport will be on hand to ensure a smooth experience for passengers who are travelling to or from Shannon over the Easter break.
"We are looking forward to welcoming overseas visitors, as they bring a welcome boost in tourism across the region. Traditionally the Easter break kick-starts the summer season to our popular destinations and it’s great to see the excitement of families and friends travelling overseas for a sun or city break," she said.
"Facilities such as our US Preclearance and the airport sensory room, along with the short distance from our car parks to the terminal building, are making Shannon a favourite airport with people from all over Ireland. We wish all our passengers a safe and enjoyable Easter,” added Ms Considine.

The Easter bounce comes as Shannon Airport has just launched its sizzling summer schedule, offering a choice of 36 services to 11 countries across the EU, UK and USA, with an extra 190,000 seats for summer ‘25. The schedule includes two new destinations - the Portuguese island of Madeira, and Palma.
For those departing Shannon Airport, the average time from the car, through security and to their boarding gate is 12 minutes, thanks to the close proximity of the Age Friendly Airport’s car park and its state-of-the-art screening system.
