Matthew Hall, Chief Executive at Belfast City Airport, said: "We continuously strive to deliver an excellent experience to the millions of passengers that travel through our airport every year and are thrilled that Belfast City Airport has been crowned Northern Ireland's most punctual airport once again.

"This news is a testament to the hard-working team at Belfast City Airport who go above and beyond to ensure that our passengers have a smooth and comfortable trip.

"This is furthered by our six minute average security processing time and convenient location, only five minutes from Belfast city centre."

Belfast City Airport currently operates routes to 27 destinations across the UK and beyond in partnership with its six airlines, Aer Lingus, British Airways, easyJet, KLM, Loganair, and Lufthansa.
