New and improved winter schedule lands at Shannon Airport

SHANNON Airport has launched its new winter schedule bringing passengers an exciting choice of winter sun, ski trips, city breaks as well as US and European holiday options.

The airport’s winter schedule runs from October 29 to March 30, 2024.

According to an airport spokesperson, passengers will be spoilt for choice by the jam-packed schedule, offering 188 weekly flights, across 22 destinations in the UK, Europe, and the US.

A highlight of the winter schedule will see flights to Faro and Liverpool operate throughout winter for the very first time.

In addition to the weekly schedule, over 200 extra flights have been added during school holidays in October, Christmas, and Easter. This has been made possible thanks to the third Ryanair based aircraft which joined Shannon earlier this year.

Commenting ahead of the new winter season, Mary Considine, CEO of The Shannon Airport Group, said: “This year we are offering an array of winter services to our passengers including the return of the popular services to Turin for a fantastic skiing holiday and Gran Canaria to soak up the winter sun."

Ms Considine added: “Our 22 destinations also have additional frequencies during school terms to accommodate families looking for those winter breaks. This not only shows the anticipated demand for winter travel but also reflects the successful summer we had this year at Shannon Airport.”

Passengers travelling from Shannon over the coming months will also have the choice to fly to Paris Charles de Gaulle with Aer Lingus. This year’s schedule also boasts daily transatlantic flights to New York (JFK) and Boston.
