Ryanair Launches Bumper Shannon Airport Winter 2024 Schedule

Ryanair has officially launched its Winter 2024 schedule from Shannon Airport.

The schedule covers 17 routes – featuring city break destinations like Budapest, Edinburgh, Krakow, Liverpool, London, and Manchester, as well as Winter sun hotspots, like Alicante, Lanzarote, Malaga, and Tenerife.

Ryanair has also added extra flights to five of its most popular routes to and from Shannon Airport for Winter 2024 – Kaunas, Krakow, London, Manchester, and Tenerife.

Ryanair has operated to/from Shannon for the past 37+ years, carrying over 20 million passengers to date and investing heavily in the region, including its €10m state-of-the-art 3-bay maintenance facility, which created over 200 high-skill local jobs for the region.

Ryanair’s Head of Communications, Jade Kirwan, said:Today’s announcement comes as Ryanair carries our 20 millionth passenger through Shannon Airport to date. A significant milestone and reflection of our 37+ years of operating to/from Shannon, during which time we have invested heavily in the region, including our 3 Shannon-based aircraft which represent a $300m investment and support over 1,000 local jobs, as well as our €10m state-of-the art maintenance facility – our first in Ireland – that created a further 200 high skill, high paid jobs in the region.”

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.”
