Shannon Airport on the up


Shannon Airport’s steady recovery in passenger numbers continued for a third consecutive month in August, figures revealed by the airport today show.
Passenger numbers for the month show that 170,000 people travelled through Shannon in August, a 3% increase on August 2012.
The increase comes on the back of strong gains also in June – the first time in five years growth was seen in month-over-month figures – and July.
Transatlantic services again showed the greatest uplift in August, with 35% more passengers travelling between Shannon and the US/Canada compared to 12 months ago.
