Free plastic bags at Belfast City
04.10.09
Following much public pressure and criticism, Belfast City Airport is to provide free plastic bags for passengers carrying liquids through security, the News Letter reports. The move will make it the first airport in Northern Ireland to supply transparent bags free of charge to passengers.
Belfast City has been charging passengers £1 for four small plastic bags - when they probably only need one. Passengers were also often charged for bags because the ones they had brought were deemed the wrong size or not transparent enough by security officials.
A spokesman for the airport said the decision to provide the bags for free was made following customer research. The airport joins mainland airports including Gatwick and Heathrow in dropping the payment. However, Belfast International has no plans to reverse its policy, and continues to charge £1 for four small plastic bags.
