WHEN the holiday bug bites, it’s time to abandon the car at the airport and head for adventure. And Shannon Airport has just announced 1,000 new parking spaces to abandon the motor in.
The parking expansion is at Shannon’s Park4Less car park, which it says offers greater accommodation for choice for passengers flying during the busy summer travel season.
This latest investment is part of the continued enhancement of the airport’s customer experience and comes as part of an ongoing €30million investment across Shannon Airport and the Shannon Airport Business Park.
With demand for parking surging during peak travel periods, the additional spaces will provide much-needed additional capacity and streamline the arrival process for passengers, Shannon Airport said.
Airport Director Niall Kearns said that Shannon’s goal “is to make every aspect of the passenger journey as smooth and enjoyable as possible, and that includes their interaction with us before they even step inside the airport doors”.
“These additional spaces in our Park4Less car park offer even more cost-effective choice to customers. This car park is ideal for those heading off on longer summer holidays.”
In addition to this expansion, Shannon Airport continues to offer over 5600 spaces across five short-stay and long-stay car parks, with walking distance to the terminal ranging from just 30 seconds to seven minutes.
Shannon Airport is also the only airport offering public transport users access to real-time bus departure information via their website – also available via the Shannon Airport app and in the arrivals area.
