The Shannon Airport Group

🚀 We are proud to have our CEO Mary Considine represent us at the 36th International Aviation Womens Association (IAWA) Conference in Dublin today, celebrating the immense strides in aviation and aerospace! 🌍✈️ Our CEO joined an insightful discussion with Claire McDermott, sharing Shannon Airport’s pioneering spirit and dedication to innovation. From being the world's first duty-free airport, to being the first airport outside the Americas with US Preclearance, and with WHO Age Friendly status, Shannon Airport continues to lead with world-firsts in the industry. We are especially proud to have been the first airport in Europe with a sensory room, offering a more inclusive and accessible experience for all passengers. We're inspired to be part of a global community of trailblazing women in aviation, exploring the latest advancements that are shaping the future of our industry. Thanks to the wonderful conference organising team at IAWA and here’s to more growth, inclusivity, and groundbreaking ideas in aviation! #IAWA #AviationInnovation #AviationWomen #ShannonAirport #Leadership #Inclusivity #IAWAConference2024 #AgeFriendly #SensoryRoom

We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Colm McLoughlin, a true visionary whose contributions helped shape the global duty-free industry, which began here at Shannon Airport in 1947. Colm's legacy and influence will continue to inspire, and he will be profoundly missed. Our heartfelt condolences go out to his wife Breeda, family and loved ones during this difficult time. May he rest in peace.
