A dispute over noise pollution reports is set to delay a public inquiry into a controversial £8 million plan to extend the runway at George Best Belfast City Airport, it has been revealed.
The independent Planning Appeals Commission (PAC), which was commissioned by the Stormont government in March to undertake the probe, is refusing to schedule it until it receives further information from the airport........
.........Earlier this year Environment Minister Edwin Poots set up the public inquiry to examine the contentious issue. Airport bosses have warned that further delays over the decision may risk major investments planned by international airlines.

From the Tele today


So Emirates, SN Brussels, Air France, SAS, Air Canada, Virgin and Singapore Airlines refuse to fly to NI unless they use BHD. Is this the real reason that there are no flights to Florida or Canada.
