The passengers are paying for transportation from Belfast to X. Adhering to the conditions of carriage is the passenger's responsibility and the transportation part is the airline's responsibility. Everything else is the airport's 'part to play'.
When I buy a ticket I enter into a contract with the airline. I don't sign any contract with the airport, that is a business-to-business contract between them and my airline. So if the airport is having dificulties handling volume they should take it up in the first instance with the airlines, not with the passengers.
