Belfast Airport (BFS) Information

Where is Belfast Airport?  

Belfast is the capital of Northern Ireland, a part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain. Located in the northeast of the island of Ireland, Northern Ireland shares a border with the Republic of Ireland, a sovereign state occupying 5/6th of the island. 

Historically, Belfast has been a centre for linen, tobacco, rope-making and shipbuilding (the RMS Titanic was built here), and remains an important port city. While the city suffered greatly during the "the Troubles" conflict , the city has since undergone a sustained period of calm and regeneration.
