Belfast International Airport

Belfast International Airport (EGAA) is a large airport in Belfast, NIR, United Kingdom. Pilots and dispatchers reference it by ICAO code EGAA or IATA code BFS. It sits in Europe.

Belfast International Airport is a commercial-airline hub that also handles a steady stream of private and corporate traffic. Mixed commercial and private operations mean planners should expect slot coordination, handling agent involvement, and the usual international hub procedures.

Belfast International Airport sits near sea level at 268 ft.

Local operations run on Europe/London. Because the field hosts scheduled airline operations, private operators should expect a defined slot environment, possible CDM coordination at peak banks, and limited ramp availability during major event weekends. Booking FBO ramp space in advance is normal practice.

SkyAccess currently tracks 24 departing and 31 arriving private-jet legs at EGAA across the next six months of operator inventory. 5 charter operators have run trips through this field in our recent inventory window.

As one of the larger fields in United Kingdom, EGAA tends to be the natural choice for long-range international charters and crew-rest-required flights.
