Ryanair has announced that it will begin operating flights from Shannon Airport to Naples and Porto next summer.
The announcement brings Ryanair’s network of routes departing from Shannon Airport to 26. This represents a capacity growth of 35% over this summer’s offering.
The twice-weekly services to and from the new destinations will run on Wednesdays and Sundays.
Next summer, Ryanair will fly 180 times per week from Shannon.
The announcement was welcomed by Mary Considine, CEO of The Shannon Airport Group.
“This is fantastic news for our passengers and another win for Shannon Airport, due to the hard work of our Aviation Development team.
“Porto is a great coastal city with incredible history, while Naples offers so much to see and do, and opens opportunities for passengers to explore the wonderful Amalfi coastline.
“These destinations will provide further connectivity for Shannon and the region, and highlights Shannon’s continued growth since the pandemic.
“Today’s announcement is also extremely encouraging for our tourism industry across the region and along the Wild Atlantic Way, and these services will complement the exciting variety of destinations Shannon Airport has to offer for Summer ‘23.”
