Welcoming the announcement Andrew Murphy, Managing Directoibiza r, Shannon Airport said: “2018 has been our best year in over a decade at Shannon but from planning perspective we have very much moved onto 2019 and this is a really good boost for the airport.

Shannon Group CEO Matthew Thomas said "Shannon Group is one of the most important drivers of economic growth in the country and Shannon Airport is integral to that.

“We’ve spent the last few years working very hard on building capacity back up and Ibiza is another service that was very much on our wish list and we are delighted now it on our summer schedule for 2019. Ryanair is a major airline partner at Shannon and we look forward to working closely the airline to make this new and welcome service a success.”
