RYANAIR has added extra flights to five of its most popular routes from Shannon Airport as part of its 2024 winter schedule.

On Tuesday morning, Ryanair officially launched its winter schedule at Shannon Airport with seventeen routes and extra frequency in services to Kaunas, Krakow, London, Manchester, and Tenerife.

Three of Ryanair’s Shannon based aircraft will be relied upon for the schedule, two of which are enviro efficient B-737 Gamechangers which cut CO2 emissions by 16% and noise by 40% which according to the airline represents a €269m investment.

For the past thirty seven years, Ryanair has operated to and from Shannon Airport carrying over 20m passengers and investing in the Mid-West region such as its €10m state-of-the-art 3-bay maintenance facility, which created over 200 high-skill local jobs for the region.

Alicante, Birmingham, Budapest, Edinburgh, Fuerteventura, Grand Canaria, Kaunas, Krakow, Lanzarote, London (Gatwick), London (Stansted), Malaga, Tenerife, Turin and Wroclaw are the destinations that Ryanair will be flying to and from via Shannon Airport this winter.

Jade Kirwan, Ryanair’s Head of Communications said the airline hitting 20m passengers at Shannon was “a significant milestone and reflection of our thirty seven plus years of operating to/from Shannon, during which time we have invested heavily in the region”.

Speaking at the launch of Ryanair’s Winter Schedule for Shannon Airport, Mary Considine, CEO of The Shannon Airport Group said, “We are excited to welcome Ryanair’s winter schedule, with 17 routes and increased frequency on five key Shannon Airport services to Tenerife, Kaunas, Krakow, London, and Manchester creating an additional seat capacity of almost 30,000, a 5% increase over last winter. In addition, we are delighted to celebrate a significant milestone as Ryanair has carried over 20 million passengers through Shannon Airport since they began their Shannon operation in 1987.

“To mark this occasion, this morning we were thrilled to present a lucky Ryanair passenger with a pair of tickets to a destination of their choice from Shannon with Ryanair. We look forward to continuing our strong partnership with Ryanair, whose investment supports over 1,000 jobs and underscores their vital economic contribution to enhancing connectivity for both business and leisure travel,” she added.
