Shannon Airport to welcome 75,000 passengers this Christmas season
SHANNON AIRPORT is expecting to welcome almost 75,000 passengers through its doors this festive season.
This will be the airport’s busiest Christmas season in three years as people return home to be reunited with their families.
The terminal building has been decked with festive decorations which include a 12-foot tree in the arrival's hall and a life- size Santa sleigh for visitors to sit-in and take memorable photos.
The positive news comes just one week after a further boost for the airport which saw Ryanair announce a new service to Liverpool for Summer 2023.
This is the third new route announcement for Shannon in as many weeks, with Ryanair services to Naples and Porto also launching next summer.
CEO of the Shannon Airport Group, Mary Considine said: "We know this Christmas will be a special time for many families.
"It's wonderful to see passengers arriving home to loved ones or heading off this week, with some experiencing a family gathering for the first time in a few years.
"On behalf of all our team, I would like to wish all our passengers a wonderful Christmas and a happy New Year."
