Holiday goers from Shannon Airport will soon be able to fly direct to the ‘Pearl of the Atlantic’ as Madeira has just been added to its schedule.

The twice weekly service with Ryanair will commence on March 30, 2025 to October 22, 2025 and take off from the Wild Atlantic Way’s gateway hub every Wednesday and Sunday.   

The new route reaffirms Shannon’s commitment to expanding travel options for passengers and will offer easy and hassle-free access to one of Europe’s most stunning sun-destinations.
