Shannon Airport: live aircraft and runways

Shannon Airport (SNN, EINN) is in County Clare on the northern shore of the Shannon Estuary, 46 feet (14 m) above sea level. It has one runway, 06/24, 3,199 metres long on true headings of 052° and 232°. It is the longest runway of the six airports on Skylark's airports page. Runway numbers come from the magnetic heading in tens of degrees; the headings here are true headings, which is why they differ by a few degrees.

This page lists the aircraft Skylark's collector has seen within 30 nautical miles of the airport, nearest first, with altitude, distance, direction from the field and whether each one is climbing, descending or passing through. When at least two arriving or departing aircraft have been seen lined up with the same runway in the last twenty minutes, it says which runway appears to be in use. That is an inference from the traffic, not an announcement from air traffic control. If the collector has no recent picture of the area, the page says so rather than showing an empty sky. It refreshes every 15 seconds.

Cork is 54 nautical miles to the south-south-east and Knock 73 nautical miles to the north. Transatlantic traffic crossing the west coast at cruising height often passes within range and shows up as passing. For every aircraft over the island in motion, open the live map. To watch them in person, the Shannon plane spotting guide has the viewing point, directions and the ATC frequencies. Dublin has its own page with the runway wind at Dublin Airport live, and every airport Skylark covers is on the Irish airports page. Meeting a flight? The Shannon Airport arrivals board shows when each flight lands and when to leave to collect someone, and Shannon departures lists what is leaving.
