Shannon Airport is expecting a bumper May Bank Holiday period, with more than 53,000 passengers set to travel through the airport over the upcoming holiday.
That represents a year-on-year increase of 18% in passenger numbers.
The rise marks a strong start to the summer season as thousands of holidaymakers get set to take advantage of the long weekend to jet off to destinations across Europe, the UK and the US.
Niall Kearns, Airport Director at Shannon Airport said: “All the team are looking forward to Making It Easy for those travelling this week, and to ensuring that our passengers’ holidays start here at Shannon Airport. With easy access from our car parks, fast movement through security, great duty-free shopping, our popular bar and restaurants as well as a very friendly welcome, customers can expect a hassle-free airport experience.”
This summer, Shannon Airport is operating 36 routes to 11 countries, with over 1.8 million seats available for passengers choosing to fly to and from the airport.
“It’s fantastic to see another vibrant bank holiday period following such an exceptionally busy Easter. We’d like to extend a heartfelt thank you to all our customers for choosing to fly Shannon Airport. We hope you enjoy every moment of your journey – both through the airport and on reaching your destinations,” said Mr Kearns.
