In the hustle and bustle of working life, every minute is vital — especially when travelling.
“There is no doubt that access to efficient and reliable travel is essential in an age of instant updates, moving deadlines, and global office hours”, says Katy Best, chief commercial officer at Belfast City Airport.
“That’s why we have made it our mission to ensure every journey gets off to a fast start, providing passengers with unrivalled convenience and connections to 26 destinations across the UK, Europe, and beyond.”
Through its unbeatable location, only five minutes from Belfast’s bustling business centre, it is clear that Belfast City Airport offers travellers an effortless experience.
“Our close proximity to the city centre gives travellers an advantage that no other airport in Northern Ireland can offer, eliminating lengthy commutes and enabling passengers to get from the boardroom to boarding and back again with ease”, Katy says.
“We know our passengers value their time and we do too, going above and beyond to make each journey as quick and hassle-free as possible.
“In addition to our speedy security processing times, Belfast City Airport was also named the most punctual airport in the UK in 2023, highlighting our commitment to delivering a journey that exceeds expectations.”

To further enhance the airport’s first-rate security processes, it invested £3m into new technology which enables passengers to keep liquids, gels, and pastes under 100ml and large electronic devices in their cabin baggage as they complete security checks.
Katy adds: “We are continually investing in technologies, processes, and facilities that will streamline the passenger experience without compromising on comfort.
“We recently welcomed a new addition to our departures lounge, Samson’s Kitchen & Bar, inspired by Belfast and the iconic Samson and Goliath cranes, adding a unique touch to the dining experience by offering passengers a range of local favourites and modern dishes, and celebrated one year of our refurbished Aspire Lounge, in which we increased capacity from 70 to 178.”
It’s easy to see why Belfast City Airport is the first choice for many — in addition to its leading facilities, it also offers more domestic routes than any other NI airport and over 190 connections to destinations across the globe.
“As an island off an island, connectivity is crucial, and we are proud to support Northern Ireland’s direct and indirect economies,” says Katy.
“This season, Aer Lingus Regional announced its largest ever winter schedule from Belfast City Airport, with over 450,000 seats on sale, while KLM doubled its capacity with twice daily flights to Amsterdam, giving passengers more choice.
“Our extensive network ensures that businesses can get to where they need to be, when they need to be there, minimising time spent travelling and maximising productivity.
“With a commitment to excellence and our ongoing focus on enhancing the passenger experience, passengers can travel from the heart of Belfast with ease.”
