I believe the Airport still struggles to make money. A large part of the airport traffic now consists of American Military personnel and aircraft (and possibly weapons)

May be struggling to make money but less than 3% military traffic. According to the links below approx. 21k flights in 2014 and 550 of those carried US troops and/or weapons.

I stopped in Shannon a couple of times, once en route to Iraq and the other on another tour en route back.
