Shannon soars CLARE’S EASTER RISING with 20% bump in passengers
Car park fills up as Airport recovery soars by Páraic McMahon paraic@clareecho.ie
SIGNS OF RECOVERY are in the air at Shannon Airport with the car park close to full capacity as it enjoys its busiest holiday period of 2023. More than 73,000 passengers travelled by plane at Shannon Airport over the Easter period. This beats the pre-pandemic 2019 figure by 20 percent and is up 26 percent compared with 2022. Such is the demand for services at Shannon that both the Long Stay and Park4Less car parks are close to full capacity. Minister for Transport, Eamon Ryan
(GP) has appointed former Secretary General at the Department of Finance, John Moran and Microsoft Director Aisling Curtis to the board of Shannon Airport Group. Meanwhile in an extensive interview with The Clare Echo, founding director of Aer Rianta International, Liam Skelly has criticised the move which resulted in ARI being taken away from Shannon. “Dublin took Aer Rianta International, it was a goldmine making millions every year and they still have it, Shannon which needed it to create the jobs and employment, they shifted the people to Dublin and they stayed in Dublin, Shannon has lost out.” FULL STORY pg 14-16
