Shannon Airport and Reduced Mobility

SAA has established quality standards in order to regulate assistance provided to people with reduced mobility. These standards were set in consultation with airlines and their agents as well as organisations representing those with reduced mobility.

A Disability Users Group has been formed, comprising representatives from a broad range of organisations to ensure that any decisions relating to future developments are fully communicated.

ICTS Ltd provides PRM services at Shannon Airport on behalf of the SAA towards compliance with the implementation of EC Regulation 1107/2006 (Rights of Disabled Persons and Persons with Reduced Mobility when Travelling by Air).ICTS Ltd has responsibility for all PRM requests for assistance and the efficient distribution/rotation of wheelchairs throughout the airport.

The service PRM is available daily between 05:00 and midnight and shall be extended for situations such as delayed / diverted flights outside of normal hours of operation.

Shannon Airport for its part is committed to making ongoing physical improvements throughout its facilities to further improve and enhance the travel experience for PRM’s. The Shannon Airport Access Officer can be contacted by phone on +3533373401
