51,000 passengers are expected to travel through Shannon Airport over the August bank holiday period.

During the first six months of the year, the airport recorded an 8% increase in passenger traffic compared to 2023, with over 974,000 passengers.

The airport said customer demand for Shannon's 33 destinations across Europe, the UK and the US continues to hold firm, with the airport expecting this weekend to be one of the busiest of the year.

"Our fantastic team is hard at work to ensure that every passenger travelling through Shannon during the busy August bank holiday period can have an easy and enjoyable experience through our airport," said Niall Kearns, Airport Director.

"Our summer offering has been boosted considerably by the resumption of Delta's daily service to New York JFK, while passengers have also been taking full advantage of increased frequencies to nine of our European and UK destinations, including the likes of Alicante, Faro, Lanzarote and Malaga," he added.
