That happened after a plane carrying US military rejected takeoff on the runway.
Just after half six this morning, Shannon Airport tweeted that all flights had been temporarily suspended.
The airport said the incident involved a Boeing 767-300 and smoke was seen coming from its landing gear.
Omni Air International - an airline that transports personnel for the US military - tweeted to say they're investigating.
