Frequently Asked Questions

What visa or entry requirements apply when flying private into Shannon?

Ireland has its own visa policy. Citizens of many countries — including the U.S., UK, Canada, Australia, and all EU member states — can enter visa-free for stays up to 90 days. Travellers from countries that require a visa must obtain it in advance from an Irish embassy or consulate. Shannon also offers U.S. Customs & Border Protection pre-clearance for private and charter flights, which simplifies onward entry into the United States but does not replace the need for a visa if one is required.

Are there curfews or restricted operating hours at Shannon Airport?

No. Shannon Airport operates 24/7 with no night curfew. Its runway and handling facilities are available around the clock, allowing private jets to arrive or depart at any time. This flexibility is one of the reasons it is so widely used for transatlantic flights.

How far in advance should I book a private jet to Shannon?

It’s best to book a few weeks in advance, particularly in summer, when Shannon is used as a gateway to the west of Ireland and for transatlantic stops. Demand rises around events such as the Galway Races in July/August. LunaJets often arranges flights to Shannon at short notice, even when the airport is busy.

How long does a fuel stop for a private jet take at Shannon?

Typically, a full fuel stop at Shannon takes 45-60 minutes from touchdown to take-off when all handling, fuel uplift, and any required clearances are arranged. For lighter aircraft or when only a partial fill is needed, the time can drop to ≈ 30 minutes.

Why is Shannon often used for transatlantic private flights?

Shannon’s location on Ireland’s west coast makes it a natural stopover for private jets crossing the Atlantic. It lies directly on the great circle route between Europe and North America, which allows for efficient fuel stops. The airport also has long runways, full handling services, and fast turnaround times, making it one of the most convenient technical stops in Europe.
