Shannon is an icon in International aviation. One of Europe's first transatlantic airports, home to the longest runway in Ireland and the World's first Duty Free. But recent years have been tough with a huge decline in passenger numbers. Now Shannon's fighting back, with a new boss - Neil Pakey - and new ideas. But it won't be easy, as the staff take on the challenge of reviving Shannon's fortunes, while dealing with the day to day demands of an international airport. With unprecedented access, this series, filmed over a year, will give viewers a unique insight into life inside the airport.

Started two weeks ago and for something that is only running for 6 episodes is quite good. its only about 20 mins long with ad breaks but its been good so far, especially the highlight being the arrival of the Antonov (worlds biggest aircraft) and the unveiling of the statue of Paul O'Connell, Donnacha O'Callaghan and the Bull inside the departures terminal.

The married couple were dead lucky to arrive when they did but I'd say the pax on the plane they were taking pictures on werent too happy having to wait around for them!

Watching it was worth it just to see the Antonov flying!
