A BUSY August Bank Holiday weekend is on the cards at Shannon Airport with over 51,000 passengers expected through the doors.

An eight percent increase in passenger traffic has already been recorded for the first six months of the year at Shannon Airport, the figure is over 974,000 versus 902,000 compared to 2023.

Customer demand for Shannon Airport’s thirty three destinations across Europe, the US and the UK continues to hold firm and this weekend is expected to be one of the busiest of the year at the International Airport.

Speaking on the predicted August Bank Holiday figures, Niall Kearns, Airport Director said: “Our fantastic team is hard at work to ensure that every passenger travelling through Shannon during the busy August bank holiday period can have an easy and enjoyable experience through our airport.

“Our summer offering has been boosted considerably by the resumption of Delta’s daily service to New York JFK, while passengers have also been taking full advantage of increased frequencies to nine of our European and UK destinations, including the likes of Alicante, Faro, Lanzarote and Malaga”.

He added, “We are delighted to be welcoming passengers from all over Ireland, travelling to Shannon to enjoy our uncongested and convenient airport experience, from parking, right through check-in and security. On behalf of all the team at Shannon Airport, I would like to thank our passengers for their continued support”.
