I thank the Member for his question. That issue is raised with me frequently and consistently, particularly when engaging in North America. It would be of huge benefit to have a route re-established. The airport leads on those discussions in the first instance, but my Department is happy to support the continuing conversations. Some things will be commercially sensitive, but I have met the leadership team of Belfast International Airport to discuss potential opportunities, and officials continue to work with the airport to see how we can best support it.
