Shannon Airport has received a major boost today with the news that it will become the first European airport to have pre-clearance for the US.
The move will allow passengers to undertake all necessary inspections before departing Shannon for America.
Up to now, only immigration clearance was provided at Shannon, with customs and agriculture inspections taking place on arrival in the US.
The new pre-clearance agreement will be formally signed by Transport Minister Noel Dempsey in Washington on Monday.
