PASSENGER figures at Shannon Airport are flying up, with the Mid West facility recording an eight per cent increase during the first six months of 2024.
The airport, boosted by the resumption of Delta’s daily service to New York’s JFK International Airport and increased frequencies to nine of its European and UK destinations during the summer season, recorded 974,012 passengers from January to June this year.
Commenting on the increase, Mary Considine, CEO of The Shannon Airport Group, said: “We have had a busy first half of 2024 at Shannon Airport and we are pleased to see our passenger numbers increasing when compared to the same period last year.”
“Shannon is operating to 33 destinations across Europe, the UK, and the US this year and we are thrilled to be able to offer passengers increased summer frequencies to nine of our European destinations”.
Shannon Airport recently retained its position as Ireland’s best airport brand according to the RED C Brand Reaction Index 2024.
“We are on track to reach the two million passengers mark by the end of the year and as we build towards this, we remain committed to delivering a world-class experience for our customers, who are travelling from every corner of the country to fly Shannon,” Ms Considine continued.
“Despite being in the height of the busy summer travel season, our passengers are still enjoying the famous seamless, hassle-free experience of using Shannon, where customers can get from the car park, through check-in and security in just a matter of minutes.”
