Shannon Airport Thread [Mod Warning in First Post]

I can see Newcastle getting dropped. Had better passenger number in Cork.

Hopefully in the next wk we might get the destinations as some people like to buy flights as pressents

Gran Canaria loaded 2pw through the summer, that didn't run last year did it?

Newcastle seems to be gone

Just curious JCX BXC, you being a Geordie.Did you ever use the flight and what were the numbers like?

Shannon Airport records impressive 29% growth in ‘23 (Shannon Airport) 😀

Shannon Airport had a strong growth surge in 2023 with 1.958 million passengers welcomed to the airport, a 29 per cent increase on 2022 activity. This strong performance saw the airport achieve its highest passenger numbers since 2009, 14 years ago, with growth in air services across all markets.

Passenger numbers to and from

Continental Europe rose by 41 per cent to over 748k;

UK traffic increased by 31 per cent recording 838k,

while transatlantic passenger numbers increased by 24 per cent to 296k.

Thoughts with the passengers on the late night Shannon to Edinburgh flight last night who somehow find themselves waking up this morning in Cologne!

Myself and some relatives from Dublin flew from Shannon to Tenerife last Monday. They had never flown from Shannon before and have now vowed to fly from Shannon from now on, whenever possible. They were really impressed with the ease and comfort and lack of mad queues.

United advertised for a full time Operations Manager in Shannon recently. Extending service to year round?.

I'll be surprised if AA don't restart PHL when get their batch of A321LRs delivered.

That's winter schedule, won't be up for a few weeks yet.

Would be more in their line to be promiting routes than pizza
