Shannon Airport is constantly seeing to develop new routes and capacity for the benefit of the business community in the West of Ireland.

In assessing Shannon’s potential, airlines look for demand data, fare analysis and a sound business case for why such a new route would work economically for them from Shannon. This is of course an incredibly competitive process whereby the airport competes for a limited amount of aircraft  with other airports and regions.

Shannon Airport is now in planning mode for presenting cases to airlines for summer 2017 and, as part of this process, they are seeking the support of key corporate entities that have a high propensity for company travel.

To assist Shannon Airport in its task, the Chambers in Shannon, Ennis, Limerick and Galway have agreed to issue a survey to their members. The purpose of this survey is to ascertain corporate travel demands and patterns.

In appreciation of your time, and your willingness to assist in the process of winning new airline business for Shannon, Shannon Airport is offering 5 x €100 Duty Free shopping vouchers and 5 x €100 Flyshannon.ie vouchers as prizes to be raffled amongst people who complete the survey.

We would appreciate if you could complete the survey on or before COB Friday, 12 August 2016.

Your continued support is of immense value to Shannon Airport and the region.
