Does Delta fly out of Shannon?

22/09/2023 The Shannon Airport Group has today welcomed the announcement by Delta Air Lines of their decision to restart their nonstop daily seasonal service between Shannon Airport and New York- JFK in 2024. The new service will operate from 25 May 2024, providing an additional 2,700 weekly seats on the JFK route.



Yes, Delta Air Lines operates seasonal nonstop service out of Shannon Airport (SNN) in the West of Ireland. In 2026, the primary route connects Shannon directly to New York (JFK), typically running from late May through early October. This service is highly popular for American tourists visiting the Wild Atlantic Way, the Cliffs of Moher, and the golf courses of County Clare. For the 2026 season, Delta has also been offering "vacation packages" that bundle these flights with car rentals and stays at historic Irish castles. While Shannon is smaller than Dublin Airport, Delta utilizes it as a key gateway for travelers looking to avoid the congestion of the capital. It is important to note that since this is a seasonal route, flights may not be available during the winter months, during which time travelers would typically need to fly via Dublin or connect through a European hub like London or Paris to access the Delta network.
