The route will operate on Saturdays, running from April 4 to October 24, and on Thursdays from May 14 to September 24.

DISCOVER Airlines, a Lufthansa Group subsidiary, is set to introduce a direct, twice-weekly service from Shannon Airport to Frankfurt, Germany, from April 2026.

The route will operate on Saturdays, running from April 4 to October 24, and on Thursdays from May 14 to September 24, offering passengers a quick two-hour journey on board an Airbus A320-200.

The new Frankfurt route will add more than 16,700 seats to Shannonโ€™s summer schedule. Welcoming the announcement this week, Mary Considine, Shannon Airport Group CEO, said: โ€œThis is more fantastic news for Shannon Airport and the Mid West business community.

Having direct access to Frankfurt, one of Europeโ€™s key airport hubs and a leading financial centre, opens up incredible opportunities for both connectivity and growth.โ€
