Why Bring Derry up in a thread about Belfast airports’ pax numbers? It’s the other side of the country.

Its kinda half half.
Belfast Intl handles 50% of all traffic which is made up of low cost and charters. Londonderry handles 2% of traffic with routes with BA to Scotland and Dublin and Ryanair to Stansted then Belfast City with 49% of traffic to UK and Europe.
What makes up a main airport mind? Traffic? Destinations Served outside the Country of Origin? Variety of different airlines and/or aircraft? SIze of airport?

I’ve only used City Airport, but I loved it, very friendly little place. Would you guys say that it could now be considred to be the main airport for Belfast?
I’m going to be up at Aldergrove next month probably, I’ve always had the impression it’s a reasonably big airport that is drastically under utalised?

Belfast City is a cute little airport; had one visit there and apart from all the metal sheets, it wasn’t a bad airport.

Belfast International Airport
EGAA/BFS
TWR – 118.300
APP – 128.500
GND – 121.750 (only avil. on busy summer days)
The main location at EGAA is the viewing gallery but if you walk towards to Belfast from the terminal, about 1/3rd of a mile down the road you come to a barrier with Road Closed on a road on the right. This is the road at the end of runway 25 and is closed to traffic not humans 😀 Security dont mind but dont go too near the fence or they come over. Standing in the road is good for arriving shots and runway 25 is in use 95% of the time!
Belfast City Airport
EGAC/BHD
TWR – 130.750
NO GND
The only possibe location for Runway 04 arriving and departing aircraft is the blue bridge on the dual carriageway. From the airport turn right and walk along. It is visible from the terminal (just).
For runway 22 the new car park of B&Q is excellent and opened yesterday! It is parallel to the runway 22 threshold and is brilliant for arriving and departing aircraft.
Runway 22 is the prefered choice for arrivals of A320 family jets 04 is the favoured for all departing aircraft. Pratically all the time both runways are open at once.
You dont need a zoom lens for photos at the B&Q but at the blue bridge you will need one for shots at the hold not for arriving aircraft.
