Residents group say Belfast City to be allowed to expand
18.06.08
Another 3000 flights a year are to be allowed to fly in and out of the Belfast City Airport, a residents' group has told the BBC. The Belfast City Airport Watch group said that it will bring the number of flights in and out of the airport to 48,000 a year.
A spokesperson for the group told the news service that the new figures were revealed in a draft document produced by the Department of the Environment. She said: ‘We are furious about this latest development. We are calling on Environment Minister Sammy Wilson to subject the Draft Planning Agreement to full public consultation.’
A spokesman for the Department of the Environment said it was inappropriate to comment as the draft planning agreement ‘is currently subject to consultation’.
