Belfast City Airport is the Northern Ireland city's smaller airport with 2.2m passengers in 2007 compared to 5.25m at Belfast International. If it wins approval to extend its runway though, passengers could grow rapidly as, although only around 10 airlines flying to around 20 destinations from the airport currently, one is Europe's biggest budget airline, Ryanair.
The Airport is 3 miles (5 kms) west of central Belfast on the southern shore of Belfast Lough, on the A2 just off the Sydenham Bypass (A2). The airport has one terminal, with arrivals and departures on one floor.
There is ample airport parking at belfast city, with a short term car park next to the terminal and long term airport parking slightly further away. There are a couple of hotels close enough to be considered airport hotels, plus all of the hotels in belfast city airport just 10 minutes away.
Once inside the terminal, you will find the facilities you would expect at a small city airport. There is an airport lounge, a currency exchange bureau and a number of ATMs. There is a restaurant and several snack bars, plus excellent disable facilities and limited shopping facilities.
