Shannon Airport passes one million summer passengers

Shannon Airport reported that more than one million passengers travelled through its terminals between May and August 2024.

The airport said this figure represents an 11.5 per cent increase in summer passenger traffic compared with the same period last year.

A spokesperson noted that the growth follows a particularly strong start to the season, with Shannon named Ireland’s fastest‑growing major airport for three consecutive months – May, June and July – according to the Irish Tourism Industry Confederation.

Airport director Niall Kearns described reaching the one‑million‑passenger milestone across the four summer months as “fantastic” and said it reflects strong demand across the airport’s network.
