Shannon Airport Sees Record-Breaking Passenger Traffic in August 2024
Shannon Airport Records Significant Growth
Shannon Airport has recently celebrated its busiest month in over a decade. In August 2024, the airport welcomed more than 233,000 passengers, marking a significant 5% rise compared to 2023. This increase is primarily driven by the excellent transatlantic performance, bolstered by the resumption of Delta Airlines' New York-JFK service earlier this summer.
Continued Success for Shannon Airport
Throughout the first eight months of 2024, Shannon Airport recorded a 7% increase in overall passenger traffic with over 1.4 million travelers. The airport is currently servicing 33 destinations across 11 countries in Europe and the US. Additionally, the newly launched Ryanair services to Gran Canaria are also contributing to this exciting growth.
Mary Considine, CEO of the Shannon Airport Group, remarked, "We are thrilled to see such strong demand for Shannon Airport this summer season, particularly with the return of Delta’s New York-JFK service, one of our key transatlantic destinations." This sentiment illustrates a promising future for Shannon Airport as it continues to adapt and expand.
