The Airports

Many daily flights link Belfast’s two airports with the four London airports – Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted and Luton. Regular scheduled flights also operate from many British regional airports and the Republic of Ireland.

Belfast City Airport is two miles from the commercial heart of the city. There is a direct bus link from the airport terminal to Belfast Europa Bus Centre adjacent to the Europa Hotel every 40 minutes. The service operates between 06.00 and 21.50 and costs £2.50 for a single journey. Approved taxis operate from the airport taxi rank directly outside the terminal building. All taxis are wheelchair-friendly. The approximate cost to Belfast city center is £7.00.

Belfast International Airport is twenty minutes from the city center. The Airbus service operates between the airport and the city center every 30 minutes, Monday to Saturday and at 30 or 60 minute intervals on Sundays. This service runs between 05.45 and 23.20. The taxi fare to the city center is approximately £23.00.
