A new report shows The Shannon Airport Group delivers a major contribution of almost €4 billion to Ireland’s GDP, supports over 20,300 jobs across the Irish workforce, and contributes €643m in tax revenues every year.
The report, independently produced by economic advisory firm Oxford Economics, highlights the significant positive impact of The Shannon Airport Group to the Irish and Mid-West economy in 2022. It also considers the catalytic benefits of Shannon Airport to the Irish economy, through connectivity, tourism, and trade.
In addition, it makes a number of recommendations to maximise the contribution that The Shannon Airport Group makes to the Mid-West and Irish economies to help rebalance national growth.
The Oxford Economic Impact report, which was launched by Minister of State Jack Chambers, quantifies The Shannon Airport Group’s economic contribution to the Irish economy.
The analysis reflects the direct, indirect, and induced contribution that it makes through its own activities, and the activities of firms operating in the Shannon Campus and Group’s other business parks in the Mid-West and South-West of Ireland.
Findings also show that Shannon Airport is an enabler of trade through the facilitation of imports and exports.
