Belfast Airport informations
Belfast International Airport (IATA: BFS, ICAO: EGAA) is an airport located some 24 kilometres (15 miles) west of Belfast in Northern Ireland. It is also known as Aldergrove, after the village of that name lying immediately to the west of the airport; locals sometimes refer to the airport as "Nutt's Corner." Belfast International shares its runways with the Royal Air Force base RAF Aldergrove, which otherwise has its own facilities. Over 4.82 million passengers (2.1% of passengers at all UK airports) travelled through the airport in 2005 (a 1.7 million/54.1% increase over 2000). Belfast International is the 11th busiest airport in the UK in terms of passenger numbers[1] and it is the busiest airport in Northern Ireland. It is also the second busiest airport on the island of Ireland (after Dublin Airport's 18.4mill passengers). Belfast International Airport has transatlantic flights, with scheduled flights to New York, Toronto and Vancouver as well as flights to many major European cities. There are chartered destinations to Africa, North America, the Caribbean and many European destinations.
