George Best Belfast City Airport has been awarded an airport health accreditation certificate by the Airports Council International (ACI) for its extensive COVID-19 measures.

Belfast City is the first airport in Northern Ireland to achieve the international accolade which recognises best-in-class COVID-19 health and safety processes.

Cleaning, disinfection, physical distancing, staff protection, passenger communications and passenger facilities are all assessed for the accreditation.

“We have received superb feedback from our passengers who feel comfortable and safe in the airport, and it is great to have our efforts recognised as industry-leading by the ACI.”

Within the airport face coverings are mandatory; hand sanitiser and hand washing facilities are available throughout the airport; markings are visible on the floor to facilitate social distancing with additional staff dedicated to terminal sanitising.
