US Troop Drops at Shannon Airport | Cork News
Description
US troop traffic through Ireland’s Shannon Airport has plummeted 42% this year, despite a military buildup in the Middle East—down to just 15,326 troops from January to June. While commercial flights surged past a million passengers, activists like Dr. Edward Horgan push for Ireland to follow Spain’s example and block US military access. Security has tightened with new barriers after activist incidents, including a van crash near a US plane. If trends continue, this could be the lowest troop transit through Shannon in decades—down from millions in the early 2000s.
