Shannon Airport has recorded a 16% increase in passenger numbers for the summer months, with 755,000 passengers using in the airport in June, July and August.
The airport said the growth reflected its expanding route network of 36 services, including five daily transatlantic flights.
It noted that popular hotspots such as Lanzarote, Malaga, Palma, Alicante and Faro remained firm favourites during the summer months as well as its new year-round route to Madeira.
Shannon's Winter 2025 schedule sees the addition of the new Ryanair Shannon to Madrid route, Lapland and the year-round Madeira service.
There are also significant increased frequencies on six existing services - Alicante, Edinburgh, Krakow, Lanzarote, Manchester and Wroclaw.
Last week saw the announcement of an expanded Aer Lingus schedule from Shannon to Boston between May and August next year, bringing the number of expected transatlantic passengers from Shannon to over 350,000 in 2026, the highest number since 2018.
A new Shannon-Frankfurt service will also operate in its Summer '26 schedule, with twice-weekly flights operated by Discover Airlines, which is part of Lufthansa.
Niall Kearns, Airport Director at Shannon Airport, said the airport started with a bumper June Bank Holiday weekend and never slowed down.
"It's been a busy three months - not only in terms of passenger numbers but also in infrastructure. We launched 1,000 new car park spaces in our Park4Less facility and are progressing with additional major upgrades as part of our €30m investment programme," he said.
"We're looking ahead now to an exciting Winter season, including our new routes to Madrid and Lapland, which we expect to be hugely popular as we get closer to Christmas," he added.
