Shannon Airport has completed €5.3m in rehabilitation works to its airfield this week which completes a €20m, five-year upgrade programme.

The works involved three separate areas of the airfield: the resurfacing of the executive jet and light aircraft park; the extension of a section of the apron which facilitates aircraft for the loading and unloading of cargo, passengers, refuelling and the resurfacing of the long-term aircraft parking area.
