Shannon Airport and Ireland West Airport Knock have become the first airports in the world to be recognised as being age friendly.
They were certified as Age Friendly Airports by the World Health Organisation (WHO) at a recent ceremony.
Both facilities have worked closely with Age Friendly Ireland and their respective local authorities to enhance their services for older people.

New features installed in Shannon because of this process, include designated age-friendly parking, better signage, and covered walkways from aircraft and car parking into the terminal.
