The Shannon Airport Group CEO Mary Considine, said “This anniversary celebration reflects the strength of our long-standing partnership with United. We are very proud that together we are providing our loyal passengers with key services to New York/Newark and Chicago, whilst also offering a gateway, directly into the Wild Atlantic Way for our transatlantic visitors.
