Passengers 'will be able to pass through Belfast International Airport quicker'
Thu, 07 May, 2009
Belfast International Airport passengers will apparently be able to pass through the facility quicker once renovations have been completed.
The hub is spending £10 million on a "facelift", which will include moving the central security search to the departures area to speed up the boarding and landing process.
A new facade will also be built to house around 20 shops, eateries and places to stop for a drink.
Works are scheduled to be completed by 2010.
Managing director of the airport John Doran has commented the re-jig will make it more "user-friendly".
"We will be creating modern, spacious and service-focused facilities designed to make the airport easy and convenient to use," he said.
The organisation has stressed disruptions for customers will be kept at a minimum by a "phased approach" to the works.
Those driving to the facility are advised it is found seven miles away from the M2 motorway.
A range of airport parking options – including long and short stay - are available.
