Shannon Airport is a near sea-level field at 46 ft (14 m), positioned at 52.7020° N, 8.9248° W in the Northern high mid-latitudes. The runway snapshot lists 1 runway and a longest runway of 10,495 ft / 3,199 m. The airport clock uses Europe/Dublin (BST, UTC+01:00), so cross-date arrivals should be checked against this zone rather than the airline origin city.
Ennis is the closest retained city-time anchor at 16 km. ORK Cork is the closest retained airport alternative at 100 km.
SNN is compared with ORK Cork at 100 km, NOC Charlestown at 135 km, DUB Dublin at 195 km inside the retained Ireland airport set, which is useful when backup airports share the same country context but differ by city, route network, and clock behavior.
SNN-ORK Cork: 100 km, about 58m, +0h. SNN-NOC Charlestown: 135 km, about 1h 0m, +0h. SNN-DUB Dublin: 195 km, about 1h 5m, +0h. SNN-BFS Belfast: 281 km, about 1h 11m, +0h. These are distance and timezone references, not live flight availability claims.

OurAirports classifies SNN as a large airport with scheduled service, which gives it stronger planning value than a code-only lookup.
SNN (EINN) is one of the curated airport pages with a real traffic signal attached: 2 million passengers (2023), operating from a near sea-level field at 46 ft (14 m).
SNN sits in a broader regional network with 4 nearby curated alternatives, so airline choice and connection strategy are part of the planning story here.
SNN's runway record lists 1 runway, with the longest runway at 10,495 ft / 3,199 m and source surfaces recorded as asphalt.
Shannon Development is the clearest operator or management signal we currently have on file for SNN.
These operational notes prefer the structured airport facts snapshot, then fall back to the accepted airport reference at shannonairport.com, then blend that with local timezone, route, and city-access data already on this page.
These are the specific situations where this airport page earns its keep: time-zone conversion, city transfer planning, nearby airport backup logic, and source-confidence checks before acting.
SNN uses Europe/Dublin (BST, UTC+01:00). Use this before overnight arrivals, cross-date departures, and same-day connections.
Shannon Airport is about 21 km from central Shannon; build that transfer into arrival and check-in planning.
ORK Cork is the closest retained alternate at 100 km, time difference +0h.
shannonairport.com is listed as the official airport website in the airport facts snapshot; live schedules, gates, routes, terminals, and NOTAM-sensitive operations still need official airport or airline verification.
These comparisons place SNN inside the retained airport graph by country, timezone, elevation, and coordinate neighbors. They are deterministic dataset facts, not generated flight claims.
SNN ranks #4 in the curated Ireland airport set when large airports are listed before medium airports, then sorted by IATA code. The retained country set has 4 airports.
SNN shares Europe/Dublin with DUB Dublin IE · NOC Charlestown IE · ORK Cork IE. This helps separate same-clock airports by city, country, code, and geography.
SNN is 46 ft (14 m). Closest elevation peers in the retained airport set include CHS 46 ft (14 m) (0 ft delta) · HOU 46 ft (14 m) (0 ft delta) · KOA 47 ft (14 m) (1 ft delta) · UPG 47 ft (14 m) (1 ft delta) · JED 48 ft (15 m) (2 ft delta).
SNN's nearest retained coordinate neighbors are ORK 100 km +0h · NOC 135 km +0h · DUB 195 km +0h · BFS 281 km +0h.

The airport sits in the normal outer-ring range for a major metro gateway, so rail, shuttle coach, and ride-hail all matter when you judge the fastest arrival.
Limerick is the nearest mapped city anchor in the current dataset, which makes it the cleanest companion page when travelers want to switch from airport timing into local city timing.
Shannon Airport has 4 nearby indexed airport alternatives, which makes backup departures and diversion logic part of real planning instead of a theoretical edge case.
Airport pages are most useful when they bridge into real city clocks. These city anchors are ranked by distance from SNN, then shown with their own timezone, local time, and time difference from the airport clock.

Shannon Airport does not have a long carrier list in the current source trail, so this page emphasizes the durable pieces travelers can safely use here: local time, field identifiers, nearby airports, and timezone differences.
The route timing references show the first cross-timezone planning burden after this airport: Cork (ORK), Charlestown (NOC), Dublin (DUB). Treat them as distance and clock cues, then verify flight availability with the carrier.
