Shannon Airport (SNN) Information

Where is Shannon Airport? Shannon, a satellite town of nearby Limerick, sits about half way between Limerick and Ennis. A new town, built in the 1960s as a home workers at the new nearby airport, Shannon is a functional place, but most workers choose to live in more vibrant nearby towns.

Shannon Airport (IATA: SNN, ICAO: EINN) is located in Shannon, County Clare, Ireland. The airport serves Limerick, Ennis, Galway and southwest Ireland.

In 2012, Shannon Airport served 1.39 million passengers, making it Ireland's 3rd busiest airport, after Dublin Airport (DUB) and Cork Airport (ORK).

British Airways operates a unique, twice-daily, business class-only, flight from London City Airport to John F. Kennedy International Airport, with a stopover in Shannon. Flights take off from London City's short runway, then stop for fuel in Shannon Airport for fuel, while passengers go through United States border pre-clearance, arriving in New York without the need to go through customs or immigration.
