## Description

Aer Lingus and British Airways anchor the commuter schedule at George Best Belfast City Airport (IATA: BHD, ICAO: EGAC), Belfast's city-centre airport on the shore of Belfast Lough in Sydenham, named after the Northern Irish football legend. It handled about 2.3 million passengers in 2024, serving London, Edinburgh and other UK destinations, with a runway limited to roughly 1,830 metres and narrowbody aircraft only. There is no dedicated cargo operation here; for air freight in Northern Ireland, the larger Belfast International Airport (BFS) is the cargo gateway. Operator VINCI Airports has announced an investment programme of around £100 million to upgrade security and terminal facilities.
