Shannon Airport has been named winner of the Operational Excellence in Aviation award at the prestigious Aviation Industry Awards, which took place on Friday at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Santry, Dublin.
The award honours aviation organisations in Ireland that have demonstrated exceptional operational performance over the past year, celebrating those who set industry benchmarks in efficiency, customer service, sustainability and global competitiveness.
Commenting on the win, HR Director of The Shannon Airport Group, Chris O’Donovan said: “We are delighted to receive this Aviation Industry Award for Operational Excellence as it recognises our commitment to really important areas such as innovation, customer service improvements, growth and sustainability initiatives. It’s a fantastic reflection of the dedication shown every day by our team, who consistently place passengers, safety and customer experience at the heart of everything they do.”
This latest win builds on The Shannon Airport Group’s recent success at the Chambers Ireland Awards where it won the Environment & Biodiversity category for its Thady’s Hill conservation grazing project. In July the Group also celebrated retaining its position as Ireland’s top airport brand for the third consecutive year in the RED C Brand Reaction Index (BRI) Ireland 2025. The Group is also nominated for Public Enterprise of the Year at the upcoming Business & Finance Awards, which take place next Thursday at the Convention Centre, Dublin.
