History of Belfast International Airport

In 1917, the Royal Flying Corps, an air force of the British army during the First World War, decided to create an airfield. Civilian flights began in 1933. An international airport was then gradually developed to accommodate all types of aircrafts, particularly during the Second World War. It shared its bases with the Royal Air Force until 2008 and is now owned by Vinci. In 2013, many leaders borrowed it at the same time for the G8 summit. In 2018, more than 6.3 million passengers passed through the airport.

Belfast is the birthplace of the infamous Titanic. For the centenary of its sinking, a building was inaugurated in 2012. We recommend you to visit it, as well as the Ustler Museum and the Crumlin Road Prison. You will be able to get to know Irish history.

You can also stroll along the docks and through the botanical gardens.

Feel free to stop off at a historic pub or one of the local restaurants in Cathedral Quarter.

Finally, 1h30 from Belfast is the Giant’s Causeway, one of Ireland’s most beautiful natural sites, also listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
