“Belfast Harbour Airport” was opened on 16 March 1938 by Mrs Neville Chamberlain, wife of the then British Prime Minister. The inaugural flight was to Glasgow, Scotland. Throughout the war the Harbour Airport, or RAF Belfast as it became known, was home to the development and deployment of many famous aircraft including the legendary Shorts Sunderland flying boat.

Cash Dispensers

Belfast City Airport is part of the ‘BT Open zone’ network providing wireless LAN connection for customers whose laptops have been enabled to access wireless LAN facilities. The ‘BT Open zone’ is available within the main Departures Lounge on the ground floor, the restaurant / bar area on the first floor, and the Conference Centre.
