Belfast International Airport Serves 1.8m Passengers In Q2 2024
WVINCI Airports' 2024 quarterly traffic figures have revealed that Belfast International Airport served 1.8 million passengers in the second quarter of 2024, which is a 4% increase on pre-pandemic (2019) numbers.
Belfast International Airport's strong performance in the second quarter of 2024 builds on the success of the 1.3 million passengers who travelled in Q1. This continued growth is driven by increased capacity from based airlines easyJet, Ryanair, and Jet2.com. These airlines have expanded their range and frequency of destinations, with new routes to Prague, Marrakech, Kaunas, and Madeira set to launch later in 2024.
There were 14,500 total aircraft movements at Belfast International from April-June this year, which is an increase of 8 per cent on 2023 figures.
Dan Owens, CEO, Belfast International Airport said: "These figures are extremely positive and clearly show an upward trend in Belfast International Airport’s strong recovery. We have had a busy year so far and continue to work with our airline partners to boost the range and frequency of desinations that will not only boost the local economy but provide further choice for local travellers. Our £100m investement plan is well on track with our new £25m security building due to open later in the summer."
