Over 46,000 people are expected to travel through Shannon Airport this October Bank Holiday Weekend.
It marks a 9% increase compared to the same period last year, continuing the airport’s strong upward trend in passenger growth throughout 2025.
The end of October also signals the launch of Shannon Airport’s winter schedule, which this year features three new Ryanair routes and increased frequency on six existing popular services.
In all, over 220 weekly flights are available to 24 destinations.
Commenting on the busy Bank Holiday ahead, Airport Director of Shannon Airport, Niall Kearns said “We’ve had a fantastic start to 2025 and an exceptionally busy summer, so it’s great to see that momentum continue into the Halloween Bank Holiday.
“Achieving a 9% increase in passenger numbers compared to the same period last year is a strong indicator of the confidence travellers have in Shannon Airport as we roll out our winter schedule.”
“Our team is ready to make sure that every passenger has a hassle-free start to their journey. We’re especially excited to welcome those flying to Lapland – hopefully they’ll put in a good word for us with Santa!”
