The catastrophic impact of the pandemic on global aviation is reflected in passenger numbers at Shannon Airport which recorded a decrease of 1.37 million people in 2020, a 79% decrease on the previous year.
Just over 352,000 people flew in and out of the airport last year.
Covid-19 has had a devastating effect on two of Shannon Group s three business operations.
The Group s heritage sites saw a collapse in visitor numbers across its portfolio of attractions, which are heavily reliant on international visitors.
The sites recorded over 302,000 visitors, a reduction almost 69% on 2019, which saw 963,000 visitors.
