Shannon Airport Set For Busy Easter; with 123,000 Passengers Expected Over Holiday Period

Shannon Airport is anticipating a busy Easter holiday period, with more than 123,000 passengers expected through its terminal over the period.

The number would make Easter the airport’s busiest holiday period so far this year.

CEO of The Shannon Airport Group Mary Considine said: “Our teams across the airport will be on hand to ensure a smooth experience for over 123,000 passengers we expect to see through 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. 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.” 

The Easter bounce comes as the airport has just launched its 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.
