Shannon Airport Video Miniseries

Shannon Airport have recently released a video series highlighting the improvements that are being made to the airport, presented by various members of the airport team. In the first half of 2025, over 1.04 million people chose to fly from Shannon, marking a 7% increase year-on-year.

  • A new 4,800 sq ft extension to Gates 1–5
  • Ireland’s first on-airfield solar PV farm
  • Renovations to immigration and baggage halls
  • 1,000+ additional car parking spaces
