Airport aesthetics


Reading about the new facelift for Belfast International Airport while waiting for a plane out to Edinburgh. Anyone who has caught a flight from here recently will agree that proposed changes cannot come quickly enough. Apart from the bizarre name for the airport, which is some 25 miles from Belfast, the layout has been in massive need of an overhaul for sometime. At present most of the restaurants and bars remain on the 'land' side of the gate leaving passengers with little access to got food once done with check in. The 'air' side has is also has little to offer beyond limited and relatively small outlets. The developments here should go along way to addressing most of the obvious problems, but much more work is needed to make the north accessible and welcoming to our international visitors.
