A NEW twice weekly Ryanair service from Shannon Airport to Barcelona (Girona) will operate from the end of March to the end of October.
The flights, which operate on Tuesdays and Saturdays from March 29, constitute the second Ryanair service from Shannon to the Catalonia region of Spain.
Describing the new service as incredibly positive news for the airport, Shannon Group chief executive Mary Considine said they were working very hard to restore connectivity after the easing of Covid restrictions.
Ryanair Commercial Director Jason McGuinness said the new service to Girona was part of the airline’s summer schedule from Shannon.
“Girona is the perfect destination for anyone seeking an authentic Spanish city escape, with its winding cobbled streets, medieval architecture and tasty Spanish cuisine,” he said.
Girona is an exciting destination with an impressive medieval quarter at its centre and a rich heritage. Its proximity to Barcelona makes it a great base from which to explore the Costa Brava.
Barcelona is considered by many to be both the cosmopolitan and cultural capital of Spain and is famous for its stunning architecture, vibrant cultural heritage, lively nightlife, sandy beaches, wonderful cuisine, and a world-class football team.
Just two and a half hours flight time from Shannon, Barcelona is a popular destination for sunseekers and those looking for a city break.
