New exit hall opens as Belfast International Airport prepares for its busiest ever festive travel season Belfast International Airport, member of the VINCI Airports network, is planning for its busiest ever festive season with many more people than ever expected to travel over Christmas and the New Year with many domestic and international destinations on offer. Over half a million passengers are expected to travel through the airport during December, with this weekend expected to be exceptionally busy with many people arriving home for the festive period. As part of the airport’s terminal transformation programme, passengers will now be able to use the new ground floor exit hall, opening this week as part of the new £25m security extension. With direct access from the main arrivals’ area, passengers will now be able to access all ground transport and car parks by the modern new link corridor. Work will continue into 2025 to upgrade further parts of the terminal as part of Vinci’s £100m investment programme to transform the facilities and improve the passenger experience. Welcoming festive travellers, Dan Owens, Chief Executive Officer, Belfast International Airport said: “Belfast International Airport is expecting a significant increase in passenger numbers in the coming weeks as everyone is looking forward to spending the festive period with their loved ones. We are making significant investment to transform the terminal which will improve the overall passenger experience. In addition to the recent opening of our new security hall, we are delighted that we are able to open the next phase of the building, the new exit corridor and arrivals lobby.” VINCI Airports Daniel Owens Romain Olive Chris Horner Conor McConville Jake Collins

Fantastic Niall McElkearney - what a great experience!
Proud to represent Belfast International Airport today at the VINCI Airports PRM Task Force in #Paris. This afternoon, we were presented with the EU Accessibility Act and discussed best practice across the Vinci Airports group on how we can make air travel accessible and enjoyable for all our passengers. We were also treated to a visit to Paris La Défense Arena to cheer on our Paralympic Swimmers. Naturally cheering on NI's own Barry McClements representing Team Ireland in the 100m Butterfly 🏊♂️ Looking forward to further productive discussions and more importantly, actions in the weeks, months and years to come! #BFS #VinciAirports #PositiveMobility
