Welcoming the announcement, Matthew Hall, Chief Executive at Belfast City Airport said: "We are committed to delivering an excellent passenger experience for the millions of people that travel through our airport every year and it is fantastic news that we have been named, once again, as the UK's most punctual airport.
"This achievement is testament to our team's dedication to going above and beyond, consistently surpassing expectations to ensure our passengers enjoy a seamless and pleasant travel experience.
