Belfast International Airport expects record summer
02.07.08
Belfast International Airport is gearing up for a record 1.2 million passengers this summer. With over 100 worldwide destinations to choose from, more than 5.5 million passengers are expected to use the airport this year, with over 400,000 people expected to pass through the airport over the traditional twelfth fortnight.
A comprehensive charter programme including flights to the Balearics, Canaries, Spain, Croatia, Italy, Cyprus, Greece, Turkey, Portugal, Bulgaria, Tunisia, as well as USA and Canada will see a record number of holiday makers set off from the Belfast airport.
Belfast International managing director John Doran said, ‘This year's figures are extremely encouraging against what is a testing time for the travel trade. The choice and availability of destinations on offer is better than ever with a number of new, exciting locations available on the route network.’
‘We are seeing an increase in passengers from the border counties who are travelling to Belfast International as opposed to Dublin in ever-increasing numbers because of the strength of the euro, not only to secure substantial savings, but also because of the increased range of destination choice available to holiday venues like Italy and the Eastern Mediterranean - and even North America - as well as experiencing a more relaxed environment for departing and returning.’
