Question:
To ask the Minister for Infrastructure what measures her Department is taking to ensure the sustainability of Belfast International Airport.

Answer:

I fully recognise Belfast International Airport’s (BIA) role, not only as central in building our economy and as a key gateway for Northern Ireland but also as a main employer in the local area.

I am committed to working alongside my Executive colleagues, the Finance and Economy Ministers, on maintaining connectivity across these islands and further afield.

I am due to meet with the airport alongside Executive colleagues given our shared responsibilities.
