Spanish-based parent Vinci Airports plans new security building and improved passenger facilities
More than 4.5 million passengers have passed through the airport so far this year, according to its parent, Spanish-based Vinci Airports.
The plan’s first phase provides for a new security building, adjacent to the existing terminal, that will have Standard 3 X-ray screening, which cuts out the need for passengers to remove liquids from their bags.Belfast International said the new building would be ready for summer 2024, adding that it would “transform the passenger security experience”.
The company also plans to build a solar farm on the airport site that will generate electricity and cut 12,500 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions each year. Nicolas Notebaert, president of Vinci Airports and chief executive of its concessions division, pointed out that Belfast International played a pivotal role in aviation and tourism and the wider economy.
