      Interesting to see that the IAA say passenger numbers at SNN only increased 1% in June.

      Not usual for them to report such info and new routes ex Cork or Dublin.

      1% is a real disappointment if correct.

      Considering the loss of Stobart, I disagree, its infact good, it shows the RYR routes are improving at a good rate. Expect slightly better growth in July with BHX being there for a full month.

      This June also had the new charter to Izmir and and extra flight to Lanzarote a week, extra seats on BOS plus BHX was back for half the month. I suppose between those it probably just makes up the old Stobart capacity whatever that was. All the same, 1% is not great.

      Micro analysis of monthly numbers is not the best idea,,, what is the 3-5 year previous trend and what is the 3-5 year plan?

      Shannon Group seeks backers for re-investment (Irish Examiner)

      The Shannon Group is seeking backers to fund its reinvestment programme at the airport and adjoining Shannon Free Zone.

      Newly published tender documents show that the group is seeking candidates to provide financing for development/investment funding; funding for long-term infrastructure-type projects and funding/equity releases for existing income-producing investment properties.

      The group is also seeking third parties to finance working capital loans and term loans.

      Underlining the Shannon Group’s spend, the group has a number of planning applications before Clare County Council for the upgrading of properties in the Shannon Free Zone and of the airport’s terminal building.

      WBO world champion Andy Lee and Billy Joe Saunders after a press conference ahead of 'The Showdown' at Thomond Park on September 19 (Limerick Leader)

      Since I turned pro I have said this - I always spoke of stepping off the plane in Shannon Airport with the belt and then this was the natural progression to fight here in Thomond Park, which is by far one of the best facilities in Ireland,” said the former St Francis Boxing Club Olympian.

      The capacity for the Thomond Park event will be 34,000 with the regular rugby set-up of 26,500 and then just over 7,000 seats on the pitch surrounding the ring which will be based on the half way line.

      Ticket prices range from €30 to €500.

      ************************************************************

      They will probably both attract a large UK following to Limerick, hopefully via Shannon.

      Anyone know why there was a Boeing 777 in Shannon today? It took off this morning and again this evening. It flew over my house both times.

      There's an ad for Cityjet on a billboard on the way into Limerick with a Shannon Air display logo on it. Am I missing something??

      Interesting.... Could we be expecting an announcement on the 18th of July? Would be unusal considering the recently announced Cork route.

      There is a City Jet RJ85 involved in the display on Saturday, which I thought was an unusual choice, so you could be correct.

      German President visits Cliffs of Moher (Clare Herald)

      President Gauck departed later for Germany from Shannon Airport.

      Went down to the air show yesterday, was a fun day out.
      Wanted to try the helicopter, but thought for €50 for a 3 minute ride and a waiting time of an hour, I might give it a miss this time. Maybe next time.

      Yesterday's Chicago went tech. I believe a fix was in sight and was planned to go as far as Newark to change crew. However it ended up cancelled in the end. Went at 3pm today
