Shannon Airport is expecting to welcome almost 75,000 passengers through its doors from now until New Year's Day, marking the airport's busiest Christmas season in three years.
It comes just weeks after a further boost for the airport which saw Ryanair announce a new service to Liverpool for summer 2023, with Ryanair services to Naples and Porto also launching next summer.
CEO of the Shannon Airport Group, Mary Considine said, “We know this Christmas will be a special time for many families. It's wonderful to see passengers arriving home to loved ones or heading off this week, with some experiencing a family gathering for the first time in a few years.
“Our team is on hand to welcome all those travelling through the airport. One of our top priorities is to ensure everyone’s journey through Shannon Airport is as easy and enjoyable as possible this festive season."
Airport staff are preparing to welcome visitors from across the globe over the Christmas season, with the terminal building decked out with festive decorations including a 12-foot tree in the arrivals hall and a life-size Santa sleigh for visitors to sit-in and take memorable photos.
Considine continued: “As we look towards the new year, we are delighted to offer 32 destinations from Shannon Airport for 2023. Our aviation development team have done fantastic work in securing a number of new routes for Summer ‘23 to Porto, Naples, Bezier, Newcastle and Liverpool with Ryanair and a daily service to Chicago with United.
“On behalf of all our team, I would like to wish all our passengers a wonderful Christmas and a happy New Year.”
