Minister of State Jack Chambers at Shannon Airport with chair of the group Conal Henry and its chief executive Mary Considine
THE MINISTER of State at the Department of Transport Jack Chambers has made his first visit to Shannon Airport.
Mr Chambers, who was appointed to the role in December last, was met by Conal Henry, the chair of the Shannon Airport group and its chief executive Mary Considine.
During the visit he was briefed on the facilities and operations at the airport and activities across the broader Shannon Campus, which he visited prior to his arrival at the airport.
Mr Chambers was also given a tour of Shannon’s state-of-the-art security screening system, which eliminates the need to separate liquids and gels, and halves the time passengers spends at security screening.

He received a presentation on the group’s activities and its strong recovery as it rebuilds its business in the aftermath of the pandemic.
"I am delighted to be here in Shannon Airport to meet with the Shannon Airport Group team, and to see first-hand, the world class facilities that customers can avail of here. We know the impact the Group has as an economic driver for the region in attracting both FDI and indigenous business, along with providing vital air connectivity for the Midwest and beyond. It has been great to discuss the future development plans for the Group which will no doubt be of great benefit to the region," said the Dublin TD.
Ms Considine added: "It was great to welcome Minister Chambers to Shannon Airport, and to have the opportunity to highlight the progress we have made since the pandemic, in providing vital connectivity for the region and our plans for growth. It was also great to showcase the upgrades we have made to our core infrastructure, with thanks to Government support and to update the Minister on some of the exciting and innovative developments taking place across the Shannon campus."
