“Shannon is also the only airport in the world to operate a combined European and US Transportation Security Administration (TSA) compliant checkpoint system which means our passengers are screened once to both regulatory standards and therefore eliminates additional screening at other preclearance airports. This facility has had a highly beneficial impact on our business jet customers.”
