More Dublin travellers flying from Belfast

More passengers from the Republic of Ireland are going through Belfast International Airport's gates because it is a far more comfortable process, it has been claimed.

Many people who previously flew from Dublin are heading across the border to Belfast in order to take advantage of improved road links between the two cities.

Dublin has been troubled by congestion on its roads, while Belfast International has also benefited from the euro exchange rate getting stronger, the Belfast Newsletter reports.

A spokeswoman for the airport told the newsletter: "The euro has really helped us this year. In previous years we would have seen traffic going to Dublin airport because of the exchange rate. Because of the way that the pound has gone, we've seen a reverse in that.

"We are particularly seeing people coming from Donegal and Sligo, where they think: 'Dublin's such a nightmare to get through, maybe I'll come to Belfast.'"

Flight numbers grew at the airport by five per cent in September alone.ADNFCR-1390-ID-18823096-ADNFCR
