Text

I thank the Minister for that comprehensive answer. The Government sold off the family silver when they sold Belfast International Airport, leaving it in private ownership alongside the two other airports. Given that Belfast International Airport is the premier airport — the only one able to accommodate large carriers — what is the Minister's team doing specifically to help it grow, to advance it as the leading airport in Northern Ireland and to bring in other investment to the area?
