Air services at Shannon Airport are set to double from eight to 16 in time for the lifting of the non-essential travel ban on July 19.
Ryanair currently operate eight services from Shannon which restarted on June 15 to Barcelona-Reus, Stansted, Gatwick, Kaunas, Krakow, Wroclaw, Warsaw-Modlin and Manchester.
A further eight services will start to holiday sunspots including Corfu, a newly announced route, and Faro, Lanzarote, Malaga, Palma and Tenerife.
Another additional new route from Shannon will be announced shortly.
A total of 72 weekly flights will operate to and from Shannon up to the end of October.
Ryanair will also begin operating a new Turin service from December to capture the winter ski market.
Mary Considine, CEO of the Shannon Group, said that the reopening of international travel is a very significant step forward not only for Shannon Airport, but for the thousands of jobs and businesses along the Wild Atlantic Way and mid-west, that depend on these services to support their operations.
"With the introduction of the EU Digital Covid Certificate, together with the roll-out of the vaccination programme, which is powering ahead, there is a real sense of optimism in the air," Ms Considine said.
"Although there is a long road ahead of us to get airport passenger numbers back to anything like 2019 levels, it is important to acknowledge these milestones on our journey to recover and rebuild our business," she added.
