Flight activity: sources and methodology

Activity methodology: LunaJets filters and enriches the recorded flights by matching them to airports, cities and aircraft categories, then aggregating them. Figures cover 1 January to 31 December 2025. The figures include private and business jets, VIP aircraft and turboprops. Helicopters and scheduled airline flights are excluded. The data was generated on 14 October 2026. This generation date is separate from the activity year.

Definitions: A private aviation movement is one recorded departure or arrival at an airport serving a city. A flight between Shannon and another city counts once in Shannon’s route total, whether arriving or departing. A return flight counts as a separate movement. A connected city is a distinct city with at least one qualifying private aviation flight to or from Shannon during 2025. The connected-city count covers the routes included in this dataset, not just those displayed in the table.

Busiest periods: Busiest periods identify a significant seasonal concentration in recorded movements in both directions during 2025. Isolated spikes are filtered out. Year-round means no qualifying seasonal concentration was identified, although activity can vary between months. A classification requires at least 30 annual movements, 99% statistical significance and an average monthly activity rate at least 1.75 times the rest of the year. Single-month periods also require recurrence checks using January to August 2026 records.

What is the best airport for private flights to and from Shannon?

Shannon Airport (SNN/EINN) provides a strategic advantage for transatlantic travel with its U.S. Preclearance facility. This allows passengers to complete all customs and immigration procedures before departure, arriving in the United States as domestic travelers. Located in County Clare, it is a key entry point to western Ireland, serving Limerick and Galway.

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.
